So it isn't okay for these "secrets" to be posted on a Yahoo! group
with a select audience, quite a few of which will be in the field,
yet it is okay for a public website, which can be potentially seen by
millions of people, to publicise the product (and thus reveal details
about the tricks)?
Okay, granted - the magic of magic is secrecy and its ability to
baffle people who don't understand the trick - however concerning
discussion regarding exposure, surely it is invalid, when a public
website exists to reveal the secrets of the specific trick?
Thanks,
Dan.
