I don't waste my time, with such sites. Most of the time it's angry individuals. Life is to short to waste reading that stuff.
Imagine what one could do that is positive rather then wasting it on negativity.

This thread was brought to my attention, and I forgot about this guy Roland : the guy who has an uncontrolled obsession with me and loves to bash me as often as he can, with unsupported facts, inaccurate information, just god aweful "grasping at straws" arguments to make my products look bad, it's a joke. And painfully obvious he has other agendas. He always makes me laugh.
The big problem with Roland in my opinion is that I think he just needs to "get some" (for a lack if a better word) It might release a lot of his pent up aggression towards people. In my opinion, He is a very poor magician(evident by past YouTube videos)who brings nothing to the art except for his laughable tabloid type magic website that is aimed at insulting others often without factual information and instead inaccurate assumptions. I could go through his arguments on my products one by one and show you exactly what I mean. Sadly He is the real magic failure. Roland will continue to bash me no matter what I put out he always will. But again it's backed with weak, over the top, grasping at straws, and hypocritical arguments and most of all inaccurate assptions. Most of what Roland argues isn't even a fact of the product or is based on an inaccurate assumption. Almost like he is desperate. I am also not surprised Russell is the one who brings this topic up (he too has always been attacking me on this forum). I'm gonna ask my best friend Steve Brooks if he will just finally remove him from here since his agenda hasnt changed. Since it has been publically announced and common knowledge in the magic community that I have recently been diagnosed with life threatening cancer and I am currently undergoing intensive treatment and the fight of my life, for me and my young family, I really could care less what Roland or you think Russell, life is far to short to waste on you guys. I have a 7 year old boy I am fighting to stay alive for! And I have a hugely successful business and it's growing and still growing! I've had my magic creations performed by some of the biggest magic stars and TV shows in the world. My accomplishments speaks for itself, and I have accomplished more in my short life in magic then most people have or will do in their entire lifetime in magic. There is nothing Roland, Russel or anyone else can do to take ANY of that away from me. I am very very proud of my accomplishments and acheivements in both magic and my personal life! I am so greatful and blessed to be apart of and to share magic with the our industry community and I have no regrets. But people like Russell and Roland want to alttack me while me and my family are struggling with my survival of life, honestly should just be ashamed of themselves. I Agree with Dennis, Best, Peter.

Sorry to hear about your health Peter, I didn't know about that. I do of course wish you the best on that front.
If you want to dob me in to Steve Brooks that's up to you. Apart from voice an opinion on your products I fail to see what I've done wrong. And I don't think I've made more than a few posts in total about you so 'always attacking' is a bit of a stretch. |

We both know Russell.
But you are right "always" might have been a poor word choice, "have, has and continues" is probably more appropriate. I appreciate the well wishes. Take care.

Peter, I have Agent Orange issues, and when life knocks you down, you realize what is really important in life. I truly feel for you and hope the treatment works for you.
Right now, my brother has cancer, his wife has cancer, and my sister-in-law is going for very risky open heart surgery tomorrow, and I'm hanging in there, hoping for another 10 years.(Wishful thinking) I made a list of 10 things that make me happy back a few years, and good health wasn't on it. All ten became unimportant, when one can't breathe. A simple flu can kill me, so I don't wast my time with negative web sites. Stay well as possible my friend. When you’re on your feet again, enjoy your son. I have the best memories as a scout assistant/leader with my sons. That is what is important. Now it's the grand children. They might not be old enough to remember me when I'm going.

Dennis, thank you so much for sharing and your inspirational words!!! I am so sorry to hear of the cancer in your family also. I too hope treatment works for them. I like you, once I found out my life is at risk, everything that used to be the most important things don't even matter at all. I have a completely different outlook on life, but for the better. My situation as unfortunate as it is has made me a better person. I cherish my little boy every day! I make sure I hug him, I squeeze him so hard and make sure I tell him how much I love him everyday. He is what I am fighting for. There is no room or time left for negative people in my life, and their hurtful attempts mean literally nothing to me. One day if they have to endure what we are going through, may too wake up and realize what life should really be about.

So true, I know of one person who spends so much angry time posting, he could lead a better life if it was spent enjoying his wife and little girl.

Mr. Loughran,
I went to that site. The demo videos are usually posted along with the comments. I don't see how it could be fairer. The opinions are harsh, but your own material is right there for viewers to look at for themselves. What is it about this procedure that strikes you as underhanded? |
|||||||||
Peter Loughran V.I.P. Ontario, Canada 2683 Posts |
Roland is certainly entitled to his opinions, and when he sys he doesn't like the effect itself that's fine and Ibdont have a problem with that, but a lot of what he complains about is a joke.
I just went back and glanced at some of his comments. And for instance he accuses me of a marketing lie on anything floats because it is advertised for close up or stage, but according to Roland because the trick can't be done surrounded then it is not suitable for close up and is a marketing lie! Are you kidding me? Did he really just say that? Just because a trick can't be done surrounded doesn't mean it can't be done close up, and that it's a marketing lie, that is the stupidest thing Ive heard of! That's the "grasping at straws" to make a complaint about my products that I'm referring to, and there is a lot of that type of stuff in the rants.

Now, Now Peter...I want to take you BP. Just let it go. It's meaningless to most of us. You have the respect of most of us. That's all that's important.

Thanks Dennis.
I know that Im done. My time is far to precious now to waste on this or getting baited into arguing over this trivial meaningless stuff. Peace out.

Writeall, if you really went to that site and you really knew Peter's effects, you would know that the accusations of marketing lies are completely false. It's one thing to be critical of an effect, but to make false claims is a serious offense. Writeall, please refrain from making any more uninformed posts.

I am uninformed. I don't know Mr. Loughran. But I did watch his demos posted there and then read the critical comments. They weren't misaligned.
So, either the demos aren't good representations of the effects, or I'm supposed to research the man selling an effect before I judge it. But Mr. Loughran made the demos - as far as I can tell, they weren't edited by the blogger. How exactly would knowning more about the magician in the demo skew the impression of an effect, and how can someone complain if the demo they made is provided? Why make a demo in the first place if not to display an effect you want to sell? Please. Make me more informed so I can continue to post. |

I have been reading Roland's site since it started. I am usually on his side of things and when people chastise others for their opinions or ways of doing things I am reminded of this bit from Carlin (Warning: naughty language) http://youtu.be/uSDGKKSiG8E?t=35s
