As I've said many times, Craig is a marketing machine. The reason he posts the YT vids (vs. big updates here) is because it's part of his social media strategy, to attract views, likes and subscribers for his channel.

Off the back of that he can broadcast to more people and take fees from YT advertisers.

The MW grudge is a marketers dream come true.

Craig recently went over this in a video. He makes all of 600 bucks or something from YouTube.

Oh Craig! Put on your big boy pants and handle this without Café posts and YouTube videos. Stop being a little baby! I'm embarrassed for you.

It is perfectly okay to make youtube videos and Café posts when you are in a situation where there is the potential for things to be told about you. How are you supposed to handle it? Not say anything in any public place and just let other people talk rumors and lies about you?

I’d like to echo Craig’s post. Sudo emailed me and said the same thing, that he is unable to log in. Any moderators be able to look into it please? Just wanting to bring attention to it. Whether user error or not, he’s unable to get into his account and could use some help.


Is Sudo ok? I was concerned for his mental health after that last post on here, although now understand he may not have been behind it if hacked.

I am attacked here for my opinion that Craig is exploiting the whole situation for marketing purposes. Now that we all know what it's about, it should be good now. But instead of leaving it at that, Craig is releasing another video on the subject. How long will Craig continue to chew on this topic? To make that clear again. I really like Craig and his Youtube channel, but eventually it's enough. Greetings from Germany!

I don't think that is the case. Yes, craig gets views in the videos, but I don't think this kind of stuff is what most of his viewer base is interested in. Threads vanish from the Café, so like Craig has said, he wants to document what has happened in the threads in case this thread gets deleted. At this point it is not possible to silence this anymore, since too many people have seen this. But in the beginning it could have been done.

Sorry, but I see it differently. These kinds of discussions about who invented what and who published it first have always existed and always will. Name any known magicians who have these discussions publicly like Craig on Youtube? Just name me one...

The implication of the above is that you have insight into the content of the emails.

If that's all simply based on Craigs commentary then you're right and you have no special insight and I've read the implication wrong.

But if that's so, then the above quote shows way too much confidence about the contents if all you've heard is some cherry picked quotes. That's all.


In no way, shape, or form did I imply to have inside information. That you inferred that is no fault other than your own.

In fact, I should thank you. In rewatching Craig's video I realize I have made a mistake. Weber did not compliment Craig but was in fact merely quoting one of Craig's endorsements.

See how easy it is to admit when you are wrong?

Not many known magicians have a YouTube channel with as much as a following as Craig… it’s only natural he will post on there IMO. Maybe there is some benefit for him by posting on there, but it’s hard to say that’s the only reason he does it.

As mentioned, with the amount of views Craig gets, he will not be making a lot of money at all.

It's very convenient that Craig has not appeared here to express this same sentiment. Again, you can call me cynical but I remain very skeptical about Craig's intentions in all of this.

As an aside, I just spoke with Sudo and he just wanted to make sure everyone knows he's fine. Just trying to sort out technical stuff and hopefully will be on here soon. As most of you know, he's got one of the biggest hearts around and wanted to let everyone know.

This is great! Thank you Sudo Nimh for your initial statement. You must have had an hard inner battle to do the right. May you get all the support you need.

I am still shocked. I feel very sad that a hero in my mind used fake accounts and ruin his reputation.

Great news about Sudo.

Regarding the Weber Vs Petty issue: why don't we agree as a community that in future it is the responsibility of any creator who wants to have authorship of a method or effect respected to register said effect's publication with the Conjuring Archive? There could then be no argument over publication and "who came first". Failure to register with the CA would effectively your work is not recognised by the community. With such a diverse body of work across so many obscure publications, it is bordering on impossible for any creator to be aware of *every* significant precursor to any particular creation.

Or we could just continue fighting like children...
