But that doesn't mean it will not hurt the industry. Hence, when someone asks me to take them down, I will.
There are many moral issues about revealing such secrets, and there's a huge debate over it. I'm not doing this to show off, if you seriously believe I am then I will stop. Rather, watching the Masked Magician revealing famous tricks influenced me to reveal more commonly known tricks for the purpose of garnering interest in magic. That's it.
I don't understand why the argument against me doing reveals is that I want to show off. Goodness, it's a lot of effort to type these things word for word and I'll be glad to stop if someone asks me to for professional reasons.
I, however, will continue posting reveals if the protests are not about securing their own ricebowl, but about my intentions.
ps: the link you provided is interesting, but I have not seen the reveal to that. what I know about that trick is as good as what you know.
hmm..tks for explaining

it's indeed those tricks revealed are mostly simple tricks, and yes, if some1 object, u sld take it down..
anyway, i'm not using magic as a business itself, just a hobbist...
btw, that link of takayama trick takes too much sleight to do so, and i could not do two of the sleight he done..

but i guess even if you gt how he did it, dun reveal it here...
that is pure sleight, and i 100% believe that even if you show it here, NOONE will practise more than 30 mins, and the only thing they will do is give up..
when i teaches a person "pass" before, he learnt for 5 mins, and gave up...
takayama's sleight with that cigette wld take more than a couple of weeks to master it..
