Any comments on this ?

Found on http://www.pubtricks.com/

If it's done how I think then how does he get rid of the gimmick without anyone seeing ?

Yup - they appear to be selling stuff which isn't theirs to sell, Healed and Sealed (with a truly awful demo vid) being one of the ripped off items. On that basis I'd avoid this site like the plague.

Fair enough but any comments on the lava bend ?

Sorry, I didn't get that far into things once I'd spotted the 'iffy' items !

I see this the other day and thought it looked quite good but id agree with Mandrake on this one. To me the name even sounds a bit tacky if its supposed to be selling top magic which it states it does. To me the name of the site makes it sound like they were selling simple tricks to people who would like to to get into magic not magicians who have more than even six months experiance. I might be wrong but thats just my opinion.

I just watched the bend you were talking about, Kevin.. I think in the second when his right hand meets the bottom of the frame.. he ditches the gimmick.

I don't understand how this site wouldn't be shut down by the creators of the tricks. It seems they even have a version of Indecent up, alongside many, many, many other copyrighted tricks.

That's what I suspect too. Probably just dropped it on the floor ? In which case it's obviously no good for real life situations.

I suppose if you were wearing a jacket you might be able to attach it to a pull, or with slightly different handling might be able to palm & ditch as you hand out the bent item to be examined

I cannot believe the site has been allowed to become so seemingly well established, someone needs to shut those guys down
