I will be the first to admit, I was on there and wasn't opposed to the picture so much that was posted, rather the comments and caption that went along with it and the fact that it was taken without my permission. That goes for some other of people I know as well, and I know they weren't happy. If the site was done properly from the GETGO, we wouldn't be having this talk, but I think one of the things that ticked a lot of people off (myself included) was the fact that the person posting these was boasting and bragging that his stuff is great and that it almost came across as these people were beneath him, in some sort of condesending way. I'm not going to get in to who is behind it, we all have our own theory - I'm tired of beating a dead horse to be honest. If it's done properly, clean and the comments/captions are not derogatory, mean or spiteful then it should be an ok site. Lastly and most importantly, the photos should NOT be taken from anyone, if a person submits them (their own photo), then it should be ok to post, but anything taken from someones site is not the way to go about it. |

I am pretty sure whoever made this site probably got railed about one of his own bad "obese" photos, and looking as "gay" as he does. So he went out for revenge. Someone who is successful in the business would never make such a site, nor have the time to do so. Has to be some introvert still living in his parent's basement.
The great trouble with magicians is the fact that they believe when they have bought a certain trick or piece of apparatus, and know the method or procedure, that they are full-fledged mystifiers. -- Harry Houdini

I think the site is funny, and I think his comments were funny. I swear I am not affiliated with the site, though I can see why people might think I am. Anywho, that's the last time I'll mention this. Love, Ben Train

By the way, I don't care what anyone thinks or says, that site was funny, and I'm sure all of us here have pictures that deserve to be in there wether we admit it or not...

Keep in mind no potential customers will ever see this page guys... This is just your ego being tested amongst your peers.
The magic Café was the PERFECT place to show this page to get some reactions. We seem to be very easily irritated by anything another magician does or accomplishes. Except Ben Train ;) |

I personally don't find most of those pictures to my liking. However, if you seriously find this blog to be Hilarious, and it's opinions necessary, you probably don't do magic professionally, or at least you don't know that you don't.
You also probably have never had a promotional picture even taken.

So you are saying Chezeday isn't a professional? Heck, some find it flattering.
Eric makes a good point too. There are hardly ANY real names used on that whole site. If anyone googled a performer, they won't come up. Also, if you think having yer photo on that page would hurt your business regardless, I got news for you: If the photos is bad the location of it doesn't matter.

Inviting people to laugh with you while you are laughing at yourself is a good thing to do. You may be the fool but you're the fool in charge. I think Chezaday has the right attitude about this site.

You mean that rpomo pictures are supposed to look like some of the ones shown on the blog? We clearly have diverging opinions on what is to look professional, or even to look good at all, lol! I've sent them some old pictures of mine, I'll be totally flattered if I get to be shown! Will be fun, haha |

My point simply was that many don't know the process of getting professional pictures taken (i.e. your avatar, no offense) What I meant in what I wrote was that any person who has both worked hard and achieved success doesn't find it necessary or appropiate to criticize others unless he's asked. Just a thought.
