A friend of mine found this, and emailed it to me, stating 'hahah dan, now I can see how you do all your tricks'
I looked at the site, and initially though its alright, you'll have to pay for membership or subscription...but no, its the opposite, the people who upload the videos (Via a site called rever or something like that) get PAID to show these exposure videos, AND the more that they get viewed, the more money the uploaders get paid :-O - the creator of the site must be making a fair bit, cos there are like 25 'teachers' who are featured, and he adds like 5-15 videos a day :-O
This is awful, and I have emailed him stating my concern, about exposure etc, but have had no reply, its been over a week :@
It gets worse...from what I can gather, by looking at some of these 'instructional vidoes' aka people in the bedroom shodily attempting to do magic, I see that they are exposing VERY GOOD, and quite pricey tricks, clearly that they themselves have learned from youtube or similar sites - I have just purchased and almost perfected 'Revolver' from PenguinMagic...now I see a 13 year old 'teacher' exposing my trick, and getting paid for it - the video is like 2 mins long (trick and explenation) is of awful quality (low res webcam style) and he cant even do the trick...yet, he is getting credit from the site, by being praised (in the form of cash) for uploading the cr*p tutorial
ARGH !!!!
Its driven me crazy, and we have to be able to do something about it...right?
