Obviously you've never been to the Cafe
I know of Mentalism Only sites with over two-dozen separate forum sections, none of it discussing any aspect of traditional magic
In regards to it being a touchy subject for Young Minds cant we have an age restriction limit on it or perhaps a um "secret" area for it?
Sadly, we have tons of 14 year old kids posing as 40 year old men... (and I do mean that from several levels of perspective)
While I do object to the act of (TM or any Board URL other than a company/product oriented address) hosting product related forums because of how carried away such things can get not to mention the social-political fall out it can create, I see nothing wrong with having multiple mini-forums that deal with specific fields such as Kiddie Shows, Escapes, Bizarre/Mystery Theater (includes Seances, Chemical Magic Techniques, Technical Theater areas like prop aging, construction, lighting methods, etc.) My only concern being that each forum is overseen by persons familiar with that genre that are even handed and capable of being "fair". As I've explained, the Bizarrists world brings in a whole new pile of elements few "magic" (as in stage craft) folks know about or are willing to lend a wide breadth to.
