No, I meant what I said.

When you start looking at things from the audience perspective, rather than your own, you'll stop performing tricks and start creating magic. That advice is priceless, believe me. I sold magic to many of the the big names before they became famous. They all adopted this attitude, it separated them from the rest of the pack and gave them the success they craved.

T.G. Jones: Gee, thanks for the advice, TG. Much appreciated!

Kaleb: how old are you, pal? 13ish? It's a great age. My kids are your age. No one here wants to come down on you really hard, but you're asking people to hand over money for tricks that are not really more than cute ideas. They belong in the pages of magic magazines, or sharing with your magic buddies. For free. You're not a mature performer yet, but that's OK. I daresay many hobbyists on this forum perform in a similar manner. Keep learning, keep experimenting, keep sharing but until you can perform your own trick flawlessly don't even think about trying to sell it. (Oh, and tell your buddy to hold the phone horizontally while filming.) Good luck.

Acar from Penguin: WTF?!

Highly patronising. What are your credentials to be giving advice here Ross W?

I honestly don't think the effect should have been taken down. It could have been put up without a demo. It seems original, fun, and quick. Some people jump to be so negative on here, but don't let that bring you down Kaleb.

Use what happened to learn from it, strive to improve.

I think it's a shame they took it down. I've seen far worse effects on Penguin. No one is forcing you to buy it. It takes a lot of courage to put your work out there, especially for someone his age. I do think he got some valuable feedback, but it seems a bit harsh to remove it.

Thanks for the encouraugement. I'm going to show all these people what I got under my belt. It's going to be huge, I just need somewhere to put it.
