[edit] WikiProject Magic

Thanks for posting on the discussion page. I agree that exposure of magic methods has been a barrier that has deterred some knowledgeable people from contributing. My hope is that we can control exposure to an extent that will be acceptable to at least some of those people. The problem is that many magicians and magic organisations are trying to operate a system of intellectual property control that goes beyond anything the law allows and is much more restrictive than anything in any other type of business. It has to be acknowledged that there ARE reasons why publication of methods is permissible in some circumstances. Part of my proposal is that the law should be our guide on what and how to publish. And connected to that is the idea that we should stick closely to Wikipedia guideline that say all information published in Wikipedia should be clearly traced to reliable independent sources. This would mean we stop people just coming along and adding something along the lines of "This is how it's done...because I say so." If you have any suggestions for a guideline on methods I'd welcome you posting them at the project talk page. Circusandmagicfan 07:58, 20 March 2007 (UTC)Circusandmagicfan

I have been doing magic, sleight of hand and have a great deal of experience with gambling oriented moves and gimmicks for over 40 years. You obviously understand the secretive nature of magic and gambling moves and gimmciks. In addition, you must also know that many well kept secrets are not even in print. Hence, no written references can be sourced. Are you saying that experience in a certain profession means nothing ? ... Especially in areas which are secretive by nature. I will be happy to prove that EVERYTHING I post is 100% accurate and I choose my words VERY carefully to be factual, while not giving away too many secrets. You must also know that when you join the professional societies, that you promise NEVER to divulge the secrets of the trade. Those who do are shunned by their peers and will loose access to critical "underground/unpublished" magical secrets. Signed EXPERTMAGICIAN July 25, 2007
