Oh boy, that's sad.
Madison's apology video is a clear example of something that makes me embarrassed on account of others. What on earth did he smoke when he painted such a pomopus, theatrical, exaggerated, pitiful and pathetic picture of a man losing ground and touch?

It might not be art you like or consider to be "good" art, but that doesn't change the nature of the work, and as such it is pretty well crafted (albeit perhaps a bit heavyhanded). I thought it was quite brilliant. Remember, all this is about playing cards - small colored bits of cardboard. The situation is; his fictional character "Daniel Madison" have just claimed to be better than the fictional character "Erdnase". There have never existed anyone named Erdnase, so the whole thing is on the level "in a duel between Spiderman and Superman, who would win?", yet, people are up in arms over it, this fictional nonsense duel. And it is now the "Apology" comes... and it turns out to be a rendition of the MMA fighter Conor McGregor's famous apology speech ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZKDNoq9HWM ). Really!? He's emulating an Irish professional mixed martial artist... in the context of bragging over being better than a long gone fictional character... in using colored bits of cardboard? Think! Consider the vast contrast between expression and substance. He says literally says it out loud; "Think!" Finally, he boast his name "Daniel Madison" as if the name itself had any inherent worth, and then demand "Who are you?" - and then immediately cut to the text; "there are over 200 billion known galaxies in the observable universe.", a contrast to make us consider how insignificant he is, you are, we all are in the grand scale of it all. Is all this huffing and puffing over pieces of cardboard really worth waisting our tiny shortlived spark of life in this immense univese? Yes, indeed. Who am I? |

It's called "doxxing" and the methods of doing this, like our craft are easily accessible. EDIT: doxxing usually has to do with sharing someones private info... publicly... but what I am saying is that finding private info is kinda a "thing" on the net these days |

When I thought Ellusionist was using the Cartman Land you can't come/The Interview Movie Technique to generate even more hype it was fine. But this is just ridiculous:
"After opening the Erdnase decks for the first time, Madison decided to delete his entire project and re-film from scratch." But the people who received the Erdnase Decks have a Collectible. |

Well for what it's worth, I own the project and have had the chance to sit through it - so I took a moment to record my thoughts after listening to not just this conversation, but many others.

You have to separate the wheat from the chaff and point out the strong and weak points. The manufactured outrage advertising, which I believe was primed by eLLusion themselves, has been successful. Madison has expanded his character, for better or worse, at the expense of the traditional delivery. I do like the part in your review where you show how they blacked out everything except Madison's hands. Did it push me over into the buy column? The answer is no. Personally I do not like download only products. Had the package included 6 or 8 dvds, like the Erdnase x Ackerman, there is a good chance I would buy it. It would have helped a little more if you took one of Madison's lessons and highlighted it in detail. Thanks Again! Jim Rose
