There should be a protest letter. We could even petition, whew!
Hi, it will just be reversed and used as an added feature ...... what magicains did not want you to know |

I can only imagine that any magicians jumping on this bandwagon for any network will be subpar magicians at best. Those that couldn't make it performing, can't imagine who else would try and exploit the craft. There may be many effects that may be killed for us in these reveals but the arsenal and multitude of methods out there is sooo huge, as p.b,jones stated, that any magician worth his salt should be able to stay ahead of media reveals. Let us not forget that almost all the information we use is available at thousands of magic shops and internet sites now! The attention span towards magic reveal is pretty limited in those not truly interested in magic to begin with. We may see the death of the changebag for awhile since it doesn't lend itself to varied methodology but I can live with that.
There is so much magic out there that if asked how we did that "300 hours of practice" is the answer. I still blink my eyes at a beautiful retention vanish. No network can make interest out of how I make kids laugh by being a total goof. Paranoia runs rampant whenever these topics come up and the attention usually perpetuates the very thing we despise. Magic has grown so much since the masked magician, not because of him but partially because of people like Blaine and Angel that brought a freshness to it. Did they invent new methods and ideas?...not really. Just new ways of present the same ol good stuff. Almost everything they do can be found(at least the roots of it) in Tarbell or some other staple magic text. |

I've gotten a couple emails from people wanting to get in contact with the producers.
You can email them with your opinions on sally.adolfo@spl.at . This was the last line of the final email I got.. "This show won't annoy magicians will it?" ARGHHH! |

I'll tell you my opinion. A lot of children get great pleasure in seeing magic shows. The shows are fun and part of the fun is their not knowing how something is done. Sure they hit nine and all bets are off but I'm talking about the little guys. A show like that will ruin the enjoyment of magic for the kids that see it. That is the sad part but magicians will whine and complain and they will just use it to promote the dang thing. Too bad a kids show wants to ruin things for kids.

I just found out the producers of the show will have a kids special on Easter called "Jesus was just some bloke". Sickening.

HI, I cant see the point of the jesus programme I though most people knew that anyway! I had a call from a friend of mine last night asking me what I had heard about the programme he was rather distressed as the company told him that they intended to expose the Vanishing banana /bandana and supply an online sourse for the kids to download an mp3 of a professionaly recorded script that they could download free! also he was told that they have the rights to an old tv recording of Prince charles performing the cups and balls (I know this exists he did it to join Magic circle) the routine is then to be explained ,I doubt by prince charles though I suppose it is possible Phillip Phillip |

In the long run this will all be forgotten rather quickly. For me, it's not so much the program itself that is troublesome - but the purported "magicians" who perform on them. The producers are simply trying to create a product that will sell to their viewers and they aren't bound by the same ethical standards as magicians.
But the magician who agrees to work on such a program should know better. He should know that he has ethical obligations to the craft. Unfortunately, it seems that some magicians simply pay lip service to this ethical obligation. Perhaps they know that effective sanctions don't exist. Or do they? Wouldn't it be nice if: 1. Such a magician was blackballed by the rest of the magic community? 2. Such a magician was prevented from ordering magic supplies through b&m or online shops? 3. Such a magician was suspended/prevented from joining any official magic fraternities? Oh well, it's always nice to dream. Kent

Does that mean you don't want to hear about their Saturday afternoon special "I Killed Your Kitten and Your Puppy Is Next" also staring Hellmo?
