Electronic release cuffs or something like that, But, who knows WHY they are called that.

What is the point of putting your video escape on Youtube? You show everyone an escape so no-one needs to go to see you perform. You don't get paid. You put yourself out of work. You put other EA’s out of work because there is no need to see there show, because Youtube is full of escape vids.
There are so may people who crave attention but aren’t willing to put in the hard yards. What a waste!

I do get paid by YouTube as I am at a partner status. However that is not the point. The point is to make and produce good video with good sound and editing. There are tons of magic videos on the Internet but the vast majority are crap quality. Not crap magic. How does it hurt? No perspective buyer of my services is not going to not hire me cause they already saw me do something on yt. That notion is probably the dumbest thing I've read on the Café, and Ian.... Your better than that. They want to see it in person. My project is not a waste to me. Thanks thouh Ian.

Hi, if you are getting paid then it's good but many post stuff just to be seen. I have seen many and wouldn't want to see their live show. But then those same people don't have live shows which is why they do YT.

The escape / illusion is filmed and I survived. I will post the link once the sound editing and logo work is done.

Kondini,
I agree with your statement that I do not understand the ins and outs of "escapeolgy". As Ian correctly stated I did not make the audiece feel empathy for my plight. That is something that never even dawned on me. There are the small and large subleties that I clearly do not know for two reasons: (there maybe more) 1. Lack of knowledge and studying. 2. Lack of expierance. However that may be, I am happy with the results and maybe I did just do it for me. I aproached this from a magicians stand point and mind set. Remember this is just episode 1, and will certainly after this discussion be the only escape episode.

So it's not an escape then? Why sell it like one?

Just because you may not hear what you want to hear, doesn't mean people aren't trying to help. Please offer some respect for those who do escapes on a daily basis and don't do another one. If you lack the fundamentals of this art and the experience, don't butcher the art for a selfish gain. Too often a would-be escape artist hams it up and make the rest look bad. I don't sing because I can't, I wouldn't take photos for a wedding because I am no good at it. I don't service my car because I have no idea. It's horses for courses.
