So you download all those books but didn't actually bother to read them?

Boris...
...I'm not going tog et into the whole issue of downloading copyright materials in general (partly because I'm just not that passionate about it) but here's a little something for you to consider.

Most, if not all of the books you've downloaded have been written by people who work incredibly hard both at performing magic/mentalism/etc and in writing books to teach others. It's their job.

If you're actually learning things from the books, I think it only seems right to pay them for the service they have provided you.

Don't feel you need to respond to me, you have no need to justify yourself to the likes of me - and as I said, I'm really not that passionate about it - but while most people who download whole libraries of work never get around to reading most (if any) of it, if you're actually delving in and making use of the information within, the decent thing is to pay them for their hard work.

If you are as keen on magic as I'm guessing you are from your posts so far, you'd do well to get (and by that, I mean buy) a few of the "bible" type books like Royal Road to Card Magic, Bobo's Modern Coin Magic, or some of the more general ones like Mark Wilson's one and get stuck into them. Not only will you have the warm glow that comes from supporting hard working authors (where they are still alive, that is) but when you discuss the book with other magicians you'll actually get far more respect and help for having coughed up a bit of change for a book that will provide a lifetime of reference.

On a more general point - if you're determined to download copyright materials and not pay their authors for their work - shouting about it in public probably isn't the wisest move.

Anyway - do the right thing - the feeling of holding a book in your hands and getting stuck into the theories, methods and tricks they contain is, well, magical.

Good luck. :)

Because I'm not so sure about troll status...

Boris, I would find it hard to believe there are no magic shops in Serbia. I can't read any cryllic languages so can't search the web for any, but find one and order from them... or better yet, find a local one and pay them a visit.


Maybe there is some trolling going on here, but there's a chance it is genuine, in which case I'm not wasting my time here.

He posted the exact same question with the exact same screencaps earlier in the year. Just leave him alone and he will go away.
