It is such a vast and varying field that none of these pamphlets can ever really hold all the secrets.
And honestly, the creative minds in magic and mentalism are reputable enough that they will attach their names to their effects.
Once, out of sheer devilment, I bought one of these things just to have a look at it. I will say that there was an item there that was the idea and work of Luke Jermay, but he was not credited and I doubt that he received any of the proceeds from the sale.
If you want to really join in and support the craft, use the creator's website, or a place like Lybrary.com or Lulu.com where the creators can market their work and will attach their names to their products.
