My view on "bad exposure" is maybe a little bit different than some of yours.
I believe "bad exposure" is when a method/gimmick/etc. is revealed at absolutely no cost to a person. This includes the FOX TV specials, a kid telling a schoolmate how a trick is done, learning a trick for free from a website (could maybe be debated if they have a "prove you're a magician" policy before they teach you), or even a poor magician accidentally slipping up and letting an audience member see how a trick is done. By "cost", I don't necessarily mean monetarily. For example, I include libraries under "good exposure". If someone takes the effort to go to a library, look up a magic book, check it out, take it home, and read it, he/she has invested something in it. If someone asks a reputable magician to mentor him/her and that magician takes the time to train him/her (not just reveal the trick, but work with him/her) that's not bad exposure. If someone purchases a trick, book, or DVD, he/she is showing that he/she at least cares enough to invest something (cash, in this case.) What someone does with the information after they've received it -- whether he/she practices it, performs it, or promptly forgets it -- is up to the individual, and the library/magic shop/online magic store is not guilty of any "bad exposure". But that's just my opinion.
"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen."
-- Philippians 4:23 |
