New Book about Magicians will be published

I wanted to let you know that I have decided to produce/write a book !

The content of the book will be a collection of "Internet Email Interviews with contemporary Magicians".

I’m sending you this email because we already had contact, live or via the net and would like you to answer the questions below.


Some magicians already knew about the project and many of them replied positive !

What I need now is your collaboration, it will take a few minutes of your time, but I think it’s worth it, with your help, soon we’ll have a nice book with a collection of contemporary magicians.

Hoping everybody will reply...

Please reply as soon as possible,(if possible now) we hope to finalize this project by the end of this month. (Dead Line : 30th April)

Also, please don’t hesitate to forward this message to all your magician friends, who of course really need to be in the book !

Kind regards,

Ethics In Magic

Yes, this topic comes back way too often !
I've been to a lecture a few days ago.

There was this magician, who won international competitions, giving us a lecture.

WHAT A SHAME !!!!

Mr. Magician showed us 5 routines, which are not his, he did mention that these routines are his favorites..and not his....

He Did not mention that he had the right to us it, not only that, he's selling a DVD with the explanation of these... I'm sure the creators of these routines are not aware of this...

It looks like it's easy to make money with magic today, just buy a book like "best of magic tricks", learn it, make a dvd, and go on a lecture tour, there are so many magicians out there that buy anything... go make some money!

Sorry, but i'm sick of this... when will people learn to show some respect for the art of Magic?
