Lets stop posting about this idiot Brushwood & start praying he sets himself alight with his fire eating. And I hope you get cancer... AND DIE! (That doesn't feel good does it? Think before you drink.) Lol. At least I don't already look dead. Now run along little freak boy. |

He just has a rather inefficient business model. Information is continually become more easily available, in ALL fields, and yes, that means people who want to learn something do not have to put in as much effort into finding the information. They still have to put in SOME effort, just actually LOOKING in the first place, along with the (even little) time it takes to watch. So, in the end, Brushwood simply has a much better, more efficient, business model. As for what "secrets" they have a "right" to share, if you (legitimately) possess information, then that information is yours to do with what you wish. If I tell you something, I have given you that information, and it is now yours to do with as you wish. I'm not saying it's "respectful" for you to do whatever you like, just that you CAN, and that I made the information available in the first place.
It's amazing, people will criticize you for "biting the hand that feeds you," while they're busy praising the hand that beats them.

I'm a big magic fan. And honestly, I have no idea who Brian Brushwood is.
He's not on tv as far as I know. He uploads exposure stuff to youtube? And now he is trying to sell a trick? Sounds pretty typical. Every so often some cracked-out kid comes spinning through magic making a lot of noise like he's an expert on something. They either spike up their hair, have obnoxious tattoos or are somehow associated with the "underground" or the "real work". But they're just low-grade con men who see the magicians as their mark. Several are probably coming to mind as you read this. He's just another one. DD PS. This is the future of magic. |

Cancer is nothing to joke about. Having witnessed it firsthand, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I do think this Brushwood character is despicable, though.

Although I didn't make the comment, it should be pointed out that the cancer comment was to make a point about a previous tasteless comment relating to Brian being burned alive.
I guess I'm the only one who noticed that. The original comment about being burned was in poor taste. And I'm no prude. I happen to know someone who was burned alive. How does that relate? Just the facts please. DD |

Obviously a pitchman would LOVE to sell a deck to every person in the room...but even so in that way it would cost EVERY person something (more than time). This is different than watching on TV or the internet...would you not agree? Quote:

You have restrictions placed on you by governmental laws, social pressures, internal conscience, religious beliefs, etc. I agree you CAN do whatever you want, but you and I both agree there will certainly be consequences for doing "anything" you like with the information at your disposal! In this case, Brian is certainly earning the spite of many working magicians who use an ID in their work. He's hurting the pitchman (who is selling secrets and not just trick decks - once the secret is out, why buy the deck?), and also the public (who don't REALLY want to know how something is done - regardless of how much they beg and plead). All around bad mojo IMO

Guys, I don't agree with Brushwood exposing the ID on a mass video. However, do you really, honestly believe it's going to affect the lives and acts of regular working magicians? I've done the ID probably 20 times on stage since he exposed it. No one, other than magicians, have said the words "Brian Brushwood", "Scam School", or "Invisible Deck" to me.
But keep talking about it on a publicly accessible forum (Magic Café) and just maybe Google will pick up on it. Then it'll get even more attention! |

Not saying the pitchman's audience isn't showing interest, but he isn't targeting "magicians," where as Brushwood's show is geared towards people interested on performing what he teaches. Also, it's up to the supplier to chooser their price, and those providing the demand to decide of if they want uk accept that price. In other words, why do you get to choose what price is acceptable? As for information, the law is irrelevant. The question is whether or not you have a right to use that which you possess. "Illegal" and "immoral" are two VERY different things. Sadly, the law usually has little to nothing to do with what is right or wrong.

There are 54,000 registered members of The Magic Café, and already 1500 views in this thread that isn't even two pages. All of you who are worried about exposure? This is a PUBLIC forum with the same potential numbers as Brushwood has on YouTube, via Google searching. You're doing the exact same thing that he did: drawing attention to a major secret in a public forum. And yet... only magicians care.
