Well, I'm here to tell you.... It does not matter one iota how often a principle has been exposed. No one cares, except Magicians. The general public has no interest in exposers, either self promoting or by shoddy performance. Consider the ubiqutious TT and also contemplate Three Card Monte both exposed since before Eden and yet....

I totally agree. Lay people don't have the method mentality to retain the stuff, nor apply it to different performances. In short, they don't give a rats ass. If you can sweep them away with your performance and especially with a bizarre twist, they won't be even considering method, though they may consider talking with their Priest on Sunday.
