That's exactly how I would expect an American court to rule on the issue as well.

I think they made the right choice for a change.

I'm not sure I really understand the need for Paul to explain himself on this or any other internet forum, as some here have suggested. I certainly don't feel he owes me an explanation.
I love his Connected DVDs, his thinking, and his approach to incorporating slower storytelling effects into his act. Shame about the photos, but there you go. I hope 2015 turns out to be a great year for him. |

The guy screwed up and he must be hugely embarrassed about the whole affair, I know I would be... but he doesn't owe an explanation to random posters on a magic forum. And what would he explain? It's plainly obvious why he did it and I bet he won't be doing it again in a hurry.
If you see someone walking around Blackpool this year with dark glasses and a fake beard, it's probably him |

In the grand scheme I highly doubt that any of the celebs would do more than a cease & desist warning at the most of they know or knew about this.
If he has removed said offending photos, I think that would be the end of it on the legal front. I'm no lawyer and defer to those with greater expertise sich as Robert, but that is my opinion.

Ego minded jealous magicians in my book . I have over 50 top celebs I have done magic to but choose not to use as a hobbyist but have through other reasons done magic in very fortunate situations . It's whether you have the chops or not that counts not about photos , magic is all about deception that's our art , lying basically and it will only be ego minded magicians one for example who is brilliant by the way like Etienne Pradier who worry about crap like this . It tells you he is annoyed about competition ( which I doubt ) or his ego is massive you decide . However he is possibly one of my favourite magicians but I hate social media vendettas and I know he had been giving it large on this 😃

What a lot of back and forth rubbish. We deceive as performers, not as business people. We operate businesses and we have laws to follow. One of those laws revolves around truth in advertising. He failed at that miserably. I do not require an over active ego or jealousy to motivate my decision that what he did was stupid and wrong and potentially illegal. He lied about who he has performed for, and awards he has received for performance to falsely impress potential customers and hopefully convince his potential clients to book him instead of less successful performers who haven't worked for such prestigious clients or won such prestigious awards.
He lied about his achievements. And it does matter about the photos. It isn't about how good you are. I don't recall Copperfield or Penn and Teller lying about who they have performed for or what awards they have won. And for the record I don't give a flying f@#k who you have performed for. Only magicians think that listing celebrity audience members is a boost to their attractiveness to clients. Its a real shame, as Paul seems to be a good performer. |

There has been a second Psiclock released, so I'm assuming that he had something to do with that?
