It may seem strange that I am coming to Justin's defense, but that was an ignorant statement. I am sorry, Jack the Magician, but there is not a more polite way to frame the obvious.
Justin collaborated with E, as a talent, to produce his own material, and to help produce product of other magicians. He and I may not always see eye-to-eye, but he is one hell of a performer. He took some of the stuff he was given and brought it to another level. Yes, he was paid to do so. Bet he put a lot of food on the table for his family as well as making sure they have a roof over their heads. It is what he does, he is a professional magician.
Why would you condemn him for endorsing, advertising and selling products? Is any magician who does that a sell-out? Is Chris Kenner, Bayme, Asher and the rest of the crew here sell-outs because they endorse, advertise and sell their products? See, here is a little secret that may have escaped you...Theory11 and Ellusionist are both magic sales sites. We sell magic, to people like you. We promote our products and we ask professional magicians to help us do this. We profited from Justin doing this, and he profited back.
Did you remember to condemn him for getting on here and endorsing the first edition Guardians? Remember, he bought 12 bricks for use in his shows...although it seems he is giving most of them away as a sales special for one of his products. Bad boy....smart boy.
Sorry, I just do not understand the direction you are coming from. It seems you just thought you found a new chink in the armor and wanted to work your finger into the crack.
