Sorry to say, but STUPID Ellusionist.com

Postby rcarlsen » Mar 1st, '06, 17:31



I LOVE this effect, but after watching the effect on Ellusionist and READING THE CONTENT OF THE PAGE, I was both surprised but also FURIOUS that they could do something like this. This is nearly "magic revealed" ! This is what they say, in pretty much clear-text:

[edited by mods]
How can such a serious shop reveal stuff like this? It's stupid, for several reasons:

1. This is so close to magic being revealed that magicians should react upon this stupid way of explaining the content of a trick
2. If I was the creator of this trick, I would be really disatisfied, as it most likely would reduce the number of ppl buying it, as they basically get the idea by watching the vid a couple of times.

Magic is supposed to be magic. I would love, or should I say demand, Ellusionist to remove that FAQ, asap. But of course, what can I do...

For those of you who haven't seen it:

Well practically nothing Brad, as you seem to want to give it away on your site. Rune, how about tracking down the creators and notifying them.

EDIT: Email from their website is cesaral@cesaral.com. I will write them an email later tonight, anyone else who objects should probably do the same.
EDIT2: The are aware and acting on it, so probably best not to clog up their inbox.

Cesaral have informed me that they have requested that Ellusionist remove the text. Lets see what happens next.

Just a point - I would remove the text from here as it's sort of against the point of complaining of revealing magic to go ahead and post the text 8).

I got an email back saying that they were discussing it with the creators at the moment, and he seemed quite a friendly guy. Hopefully they can get this removed as soon as.

If moderators think my post should be EDITED, please do so. I don't want to be in the same situation as Ellusionist. Maybe, we shoule wait and see what E does.
