Guys do you think that the chinese news paper comma is good?

They kind of review (you mean reveal?) a magic trick every week.

What do you about that?

SHADE is so tired of editing poor grammar... haha.

Hey fishyyu,

How about a proper intro of yourself? :)

And do please read the rules first - I really hate having to edit bad English.

It NOT good. They may be teaching other people tricks but that means no point showing a trick to someone when everybody knows how to do a trick. I already feel like writing a letter to tell them to stop revealing tricks its bad for the magic community.

Its seriously an issue now if all you magic hobbyist and magicians noticed.. Magic is coming up to be the next 'hot' thing. and everyone seems to wants a piece of the action.

Ppl who can perform will learn it to do so..yet there are ppl who who cant who will learn whatever they can to bring those in the limelight down.

For the media...everyone is howing ppl performing magic...they want high reader or viewer rating...and to get there..they have to show something different...for magic...something different can only mean behind the scene...exposing magic..

Honestly..laymen dont understand the difficulty of sleights...cause our job is to make it look as easy as possible. So once exposed.. no one appreciates what we do anymore. no matter how hard the sleight or technique is accomplished. We simply just entertain. thats all.

In the long term, due to overexposure, the art of magic might just die out.cause there's simply no point anymore.

So we need to do something about this

yeah , i thought of that too, writing letter to them.
it wont work anyway.
those people who reveal those trick they are just simply jealous,
they cant perform as well as what those magicians' do out there .
so they reveal them out to show that they can do it to.

its really heart breaking for magicians.

What can we do, that section attracts so much attention/readers from young magicians and laymen. We can only sit back and watch sleights and tricks get exposed every week. ^_^

Plus breaking the magician's code is starting soon o channel 5 now more people will be able to view it, and all these are the big tricks.

It already started two week ago . :mellow:

Ya... and you all have just done your part in advertising the program to others.

Well , I think the magic peformed in the show may not affect the magician . As when magician knew that this particular trick has been revealed before , one will avoid pefroming it or modify it . Audience may not notice that it the same trick .
Plus there a saying that magician has to be forward looking and invent new tricks rather than kept using old trick that already been peform , so that magic would be brought to a higher level and new stuff will be presented to the audience

Anyway , what I trying to said is that we cant stop what other are going to expose but we can " upgrade " ourselves with new stuff thats going to amaze them
