Has anybody downloaded the Steve Fearson Toolbar to be able to get the free downloads that he is providing?
I am very careful when it comes to adding toolbars to my system, spy-ware, worms, etc.. James Adamson http://www.seam2006.com

I'm equally cautious so I haven't downloaded the toolbar either. You might want to check out this site - http://www.magicforall.com
Most of the stuff Steve is offering is available for free there with no catch. Chances are the other titles Steve is offering are availble elsewhere too. A Google search should do it. |

I have a ton of protection; so, I downloaded the toolbar; but, it does not work like he says. I have never been able to get onto his so called "free" site but the toolbar information is informative. My guess is that he may get paid for everyone that downloads the toolbar from the creating entity. I removed it after playing with it a while. Do not see any damage to my system.

So that was why he sent out the new addresses and made the comment that someone was giving it out to everyone.

I avoid installing "toolbars" like that (even with my top notch firewall, I don't take chances with spyware, etc.) and I didn't figure the free magic would be worth it anyway (or else it wouldn't be free, now, would it?).

I think anyone that was around when Fearson pulled the Station Agent Scam would be less than trusting of his Toobar. Sorry Steve but that hurt your reputation.

I just read the Blog in a earlier post on the Toolbar. I expect it is all about income streams. The more toolbar installs and downloads the more he makes.

What was the Station Agent Scam??

There was no scam.... a product used some pretty crazy marketing, but basically an effect was sold for some cheap money (I think $10-$15) and it was a decent enough drawing dupe, but because it didn't ACTUALLY make people read minds, people complained...
The way I see it, they spent a little money and got a nice little effect... |

I thought you guys might be interested. There's a new download from Fearson's site on Angelo Carbone's new Shirt Happens trick. Anyone looking for impromptu stuff might want to take a look at this. As seen on TV by the way! Looks good.

Steve Fearson is a terrific performer and accomplished magician. That being said, he's a lousy creator of effects (Fearson's Aces being maybe the only exception)
There's some real duds on that website of his. Again, I'm taking nothing away from Steve as a performer of magic. But it's like asking a great pilot to build a plane for you. He might be able to throw together something resembling a plane, but would you want to fly in it? No The pilot should stick with what he does best and leave the actual buiding of the aircraft to someone else. BTW, the toolbar IS adware and gathers information about your surfing habits. It's actually called the Alexa toolbar. Do a search for it on google and you'll see that it shows up on every trojan, virus, spyware and adware website. There's a number of websites that actually offer something called The Alexa Toolbar Removal Tool. Anything that requires a special tool just to remove it from my system isn't anything I want to download... Steve Fearson makes a few pennies for every one that gets downloaded via his website. |
