If I can say, I don't have a dog in this fight. I've just been monitoring the thread. It never struck me credible that this guy was 12. I have two kids both of whom where 12 at one time and I've never heard a 12 year old express himself the way Alex does. Also if you look at a whois of his website, he is using Domains by Proxie, which is a service designed to hide the identity of the person putting up the site. I don't believe a 12 year old would even know, or have the desire to set up a Domains By Proxie site. My guess is that he is a scammer and is also using multiple identities.

I'm a newby here, but don't discredit kids who are younger. When I was 12, I was coding in php and html, I was a skateboard dealer and I imported factory direct. My domain was by proxy, and I also has a mirror on the ip2.net network. ( the site is still up, though I have discontinued selling stuff http://sk8te.uk.to/ [not proxied anymore]) Right now I'm 14, I own an online magic shop , and have a well established portfolio.

Anyway.....
First off, don't get me wrong, I think alex is a con artists. But to clarify thjings, its not illegal to use a methodology of something. So alex is only doing one thing, false advertising. I wonder if its worth taking a trip into brooklyn (i live like an hour and a half away) I might go saturday to visit my bro at college. I think we would all be less ****ed if he wasn't selling it for 100 bucks. (Its worth eight, maybe). I had the privilege of viewing the dvd my-self (someone I know has it) and all I can say is that its garbage.

I did not buy this dvd so I cant judge it , but I have something else to say.

I'm not saying he hasnt done some bad things with this dvd , but why all attack him like this?
I see these things a lot with big magicians and shops like ellusionist and penguin,, they promise something that you really don't get, and they steal idea's..and tricks...

here's an example: criss angel levitation,, in the demo you see him do a couple of levitations,, and 1 is where he has his arms out and he floats really high and he is surrounded,, ,,nice camera trick,, but he did not teach you it on the dvd.......

and what about the 3 ring circis bij jay sankey, in the demo he says the rings are examinable,, and when you buy the dvd he says it is examinable after the switch,, ......... itnt that a lie too?

why doesn't anybody attack him or angel?? I'm not saying sankey or angel is a lyer,, I'm just saying it happens a lot just to sell the product,, so why pick on this little boy......... I think every magician has been ripped off more then 1 time buying a magic effect or dvd,, right?????????????

"Stupid is as Stupid does." Just check out his latest project.

Axe Productions proudly presents. "The Gump." Check out the You Tube Video.

Have your spectator pick from a box of chocolates then suddenly their hair changes into the Gump. Illusion uses no electronics or stooges.

Alex thinks he is really Forest and should just run Forest run.
