I'm not a Magician either, but I write books. Correct references and credits are important. At least, to me.

Arnold, my point (perhaps poorly made) is that two people who spend a sizable number of hours per day with a deck of playing cards in their hands will invariably and independantly "discover" the exact same move.
It's to be expected. Magicians tend to fight and debate endlessly about it (see Lorayne and Green), but I'm not sure that outside of the magic world anybody even cares when it comes to cards, dice, and any other hustle or scam one comes up with. I presume your reference to those who may have seen your move here and passed it on is a reference to Mr. Z and/or Jason, as you're aware that they're friends with Forte. I suppose the thing to do (if it concerns you), is to ask them if they saw your move and then showed that move to Forte. Their answer then becomes the answer, as this isn't a court of law, we all have to assume people are answering our questions honestly. Beyond asking a question, and getting an answer, I'm not sure what the last couple of days of posts in this thread are actually about? |

I have good contacts with everyone (but Steve Forte), I have no one to name or blame and, frankly, I don't care. In case, as I think, I'm the first one to have "demonstrated" that move, I would just have appreciated to be mentioned, nothing more. Not pride or anything else, just respect. Me, I like, respect and appreciate many people, Steve included. All people knowing me or having read my material (and Steve has my 2 first booklets for instance) know I can spend months just to find an exact reference! I'd just like others to do the same (more especially when I'm not very difficult to find ). I don't see what could be wrong with it. The "essence" of the last posts is just to show that nobody's perfect. I don't know if Joey invented the controls we are talking about, only him can tell. |

The vast majority of the moves on 52 came from notes Steve made in the 1980s. I've seen the notes and I can't decipher a single word of them! Steve can read them, but only because he knows what they mean. So if a note says, "Bottom stock control from JP" then he knows that is referring to a move Jimmy Payne showed him 30 years ago. He realized that even he was in danger of forgetting what some of his notes meant so he set about filming them. That footage is what eventually became 52.
This means that the vast majority of those moves can be traced to specific friends of his that shared these ideas with him over a period of many decades. Most, if not all of these people are long gone now. Steve would be the first to tell you that he didn't invent many of the moves in 52, only adjusted them for his hands and the way he handles cards. Jason PS: The bottom stock control that Joey has re-invented doesn't belong to Steve. It was shown to him by Jackie Newton in the 1980s. Did JN "invent" it? Who knows. Perhaps. Or perhaps it was shown to him by some hustler who's name is lost to history.

I came up with the method myself, just like any other move I released on the wire. I avoid the word "invented" because in my opinion that's a strange word to use when talking about cards. However, you can blame me for not spending any time researching for references. I admit that. I posted two videos about the move in March 2013 -> saw that there was some interest in me making a tutorial -> I made a tutorial. |

"Invention" can only happen once - so Joey clearly didn't invent that bottom stock control. I don't care if you toil under nothing but gas lamp and campfires and finally emerge from your basement laboratory after 20 years with a burning filament in a glass orb - you still didn't "invent" the lightbulb.
There are times when the moment of invention (and the inventor) are unclear and credit has to be shared, but this isn't one of those times. I see nothing wrong with Joey teaching this move, as the closest thing to an original "inventor" is dead, but he shouldn't claim it as his own. And maybe he isn't. I haven't seen his Wire video. Joey - what credits do you give on your video? If none, that's okay (up until now), but you should go back and edit your video to give proper credit to Jackie Newton. Jason

I wrote a disclaimer, crediting Steve Forte as the one who first demonstrated the move's on video and Jackie Newton as the person who first showed it to him. And the members of the Magic café (which posted in this thread) for pointing me in the right direction. Thank you. |

Very good Joey.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Joey, I've been informed of some other credits regarding the move also, but I think that's an excellent addendum.

Jason, are there any plans to release the "rest" of 52? All of his tapes? Maybe that website I had heard talk of?

No real plans, but I'd love to do something along those lines.

New Video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f56mZAo7HmY A few small variations on the "Ping Pong Shift": 1. Shifting only the top slug of the deck, so that the bottom card changes 2. Normal shift. 3. Shift using a cut card. |

Kimura,
Steve originally gave me 110 moves on video. We chose 52 of them for the GPS DVDs. The other 58 I still have on video. What I would like to do is to release the other 58 moves at some point along with some explanations. But…it's not up to me. I may have the actual video files, but it's Steve's footage. If he doesn't say yes, then it won't happen. If it moves forwards, then everyone here will know about it at the appropriate time. Jason
