Lee Asher is asking for Ghost King DVDs (originals) to be mailed to him with 5 USD and he will trade it for his "Asher Twist DVD" and a PDF copy of his manuscript "The Diving Board Double".
LinkJust a goodwill post, I think it IS worth it.

Honestly both moves look exactly the same to me.
Hmm.

That's because they are. Ghost Kings was an exact carbon copy, a ripoff of Lee's Asher Twist, which is why Lee's doing everyone this huge favor by offering everyone who bought the Magic Makers DVD the chance to trade in the DVD with the original Asher Twist DVD. I think it's an awesome gesture and it shows that Lee still cares about ethics and the magic community as a whole.

Asher Twist is an original invention of Lee Asher, a very very very good veteran in magic. He's also the guy who's seriously pissed off that Magic Makers has done this.
IMHO, there are many variations of linking rings (Ninja Rings anybody?), himber rings, wands, canes, TTs, etc out there which all do the same thing and because of what they essentially are, they would typically look just about the same though they are different brands. That's ok to a certain extent but when it comes to an effect that is so totally a rip off... <_<
A rose by another name would still smell as sweet
A pirate by another name is still a pri*k :ph43r:

Asher's Twist was out first in Lee Asher's Well Done VHS (or was it cooking with Lee Asher? :unsure: ) many years ago. Sorry if i got the names mixed up. But it was in VHS format at that time.
I think Ghost Kings was released after Lee Asher Converted Asher's Twist into DVD format. Most prob piggybacking on the success of the Asher's Twist. Similar to Magic Makers' DVD "Show off with Cards", which contained many other flourishers moves without due credit or permission.
Not illegal, but definitely unethical <_<
Grab this chance and send Ghost Kings in to change for the Asher's Twist ^_^
