Hello, I hope this is the right place on the forum for asking you a question. I came across one of the many (unfortunally) youtube channel of a teeneger exposing tecniques, can I alert somebody about it that can make it close his channel? The guy in question is found just searching "disturb reality". Not only it reveals tecniques but he perform very badly. Thanks

Nothing you can do, I'm afraid. The only way you can challenge a video is via a DCMA take-down letter IF you are a copyright holder of the video's content. And most magic effects are not able to be copyrighted.

Actually, there IS something you can do.
1) Click off the video and forget you saw it. 2) Do not provide a link for someone else to follow. 3) Do not tell others how to find them in a search. 4) Do not leave comments. The word "viral" was not invented by mistake. Consider things like this to be germ-ridden. Stop spreading it for others to be affected by it. It won't stop it completely, but it will slow the progress of it.

YouTube videos are great for figuring out what NOT to do.

The disturb reality guy/show/concept actually has a huge following and tries to be more "inspirational" and about "social engineering" as opposed to just teaching magic secrets.
I'm not going to judge right or wrongness here (I'll leave that up to everyone on their own) but I think if you watch a few episodes you'll see that he is actually trying to put something together that can change people's lives...I thought it was very interesting when I first started watching (and I've only seen a few clips of a few episodes). |

As bad as his tutorials are, they appear to be more aimed with the view to people really learning the tricks for, as DynaMix said, inspirational & social engineering not "look, here's how the tricks done. Thank you & goodbye".
To me scam school seems far worse, by encouraging exposing, often much more essential core tricks & techniques. I suspect many scam school viewers have no intention of really learning any magic and certainly nothing that they can't get free from a YouTube video explaining in detail how to do it without skills for any reason other than 1 quick trick with the mates.

The only way to really keep an effect secret...is to invent it yourself.

I wish everyone here read Michael Baker's post above. That's the best post on this subject that I've ever seen.
There are rare circumstances where exposure videos do violate a copyright, such as the exposer reciting copyrighted instructions verbatim. In those cases, contact only the creator and/or the publisher. They're the only people who can seek a legal remedy.
Humans make life so interesting. Do you know that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to create boredom. Quite astonishing.
