Hi everyone -- I have a method for an effect and I'd like to share it with people here (in "Penny for your thoughts"). It's a variation of Jack Kent Tillar's "Business Card Opener" from his book, "Quartet."
I'm not selling it--it would be free for whoever wants it. I'm an enthusiast/hobbyist performer, and I just want to share something with the community. However, I also want to do the right thing in terms of ethics. It's a variation of an existing effect and still includes some of the original method, which means I'm not sure if it's mine to give away. I want to err on the side of caution, so I'd like to ask for some guidance. |

It is indeed not yours to give away. Good on you for checking.

Also, you should not share methods (even your own) in "Penny for your thoughts."
You can share/discuss methods in "Inner thoughts." You can gain access to "Inner thoughts" after you have made 50 substantive posts. |

You're right--thanks That's what I meant--I apologize for not explaining it more clearly. I wouldn't have shared it openly in that forum (because it's an open forum).

Sharing it is not really an issue at all IF you can establish that the person you're sharing it with owns Tillars' "Quartet."
Not hard to do. |
