Sin "full"

yeah i m pathetic at making puns i guess.. well the title of the post was supposed to be byplay on the the effect sinful by wayne houchin and a little video that he has on his youtube page on the effect.



i really have nothing against exposure ... and if an audience catches me then so be it its a trick and i certainly do not want to claim possession of super human abilities or magical power. i want my audience to know i m doing a trick and that they can do it if they r told the secret ... i m there to entertain and amaze ... that is all.

but i was amazed at wayne for exposing the retention coin vanish in order to explain what "sleight of hand" to his internet audience. not only does he expose it he explains how to do it ... now this is certainly a step forward than dai vernon explaining the fake transfer vanish in his cups and balls routine.

many would say that this is not exposure ...

but i don't care at all... i m not against exposure and i m not for it... so it hardly matters to me .... i could care less about it... but what bothers me is the double attitude of ppl who cry foul each time some body goes on the telly or youtube explaining some secrets... why crucify masked magician or 12 year old kids on youtube but leave the wayne houchins and dai vernons and penn tellers out of ur criticism ...
