Oh god, I'm in that boat. I pray we get a real update at some point. It blows my mind that we've had to wait this long for a re-release of a book. not even a first edition.
Last night, I got pulled over, and I performed close-up magic for a couple of police officer's. It was really fun and a good way to challenge my nerves.
As for exposure: How many times have you seen someone perform a trick that blew you away only to learn that it came from a book you own and it was a trick you just skimmed over and did not stop to read and learn it. It’s the same thing.
Possibly the issue with The Magic Cafe and Google could be that the forum system hasn't been updated in over 20 years. A image file size maximum of 75 KB? Come on...
Well all we want is some form of accountability. Faith goes both ways. These problems didn’t stop his wife from sending a letter asking us to donate money to buy him a new computer.
Perhaps people are not aware that Dan's long term GF died in a car accident during The Big Flu. Her loss took a huge toll on him. Dan's new wife is a huge help to him and I'm sure that the book will make it into people's hands.
@@bernmar Not sure if you’ve experienced the death of a loved one, but it can cause a person to shut down. It takes time to heal. My sister was murdered on NYE 2024. It’s still hard to face each day and NYE 2025 will not be a day of celebration but of mourning.
Thanks Craig! It seems now, that when we order magic online, many of the shops say "It's on the way...just a few more days/weeks/months. Not all, but some just turn around and send it out of China, or who knows where! Please do not take our money if you do not have the merchandise in stock!
I understand the need for exposure to inspire people to get into our craft. I just wish it were for old or outdated stuff that teaches principles and NOT the brand new effects I buy. I can’t believe how fast the newest stuff is exposed like Crazy Sam’s Mind. Of course I’m being a hypocrite because if I DON’T know an effect or don’t own it, I like to see 😊
I’m one of the many supporters of the project. Sadly I’ve lost hope for it. I love Dan and all the work he’s done and his contributions towards the art. Sadly I think this project will probably never materialise until it’s 2030.
I freaking love your videos Craig. Agree 100% on the exposure thing. Magic is like anything else, it needs to evolve. Some of these opinions on how to find secrets are baffling.
It is possible to stop Google indexing your site, I don't think this is what happened at the green latrine though as I don't think anybody there is competent enough to set it up.
The way that these elitist magic societies work makes me very proud I never accepted invitations or sought them out. Without free tricks and exposure, I’d have never been a magician in the first place. I was poor. I didn’t have any means of getting even cheap books, let alone multiple decks of cards or props. I learned tricks and practiced them in libraries where I could get free computer and internet access. A magic teacher? I had never met one until I became a pro in my 20’s. Being elitist about magic takes the magic out of magic. It’s disgusting.
Listening to Craig Petty lecture people on the ethics of magic is like listening to Craig Petty lecture people on diet and exercise. Let’s recall that Craig was evicted from the entire community over ethical problems. Now he’s back and a prolific creator, but this is not a topic on which he should preach.
Actually I can speak on this topic because I know what I’m talking about from experience. It’s why convinced ex cons can talk about staying out of prisons in places like schools By the way thanks for body shaming me. You would have had an interviewing point if you hadn’t done that: now I just think you are a prick.
The people complaining about Dan’s book should ask about people waiting 4 years for Aaron Fisher’s book

@@DatH1pster the 20th anniversary edition is about to get another delay so they can change all forms of 20th to 25th 😂

What’s the point of being a performing monkey?
How did it go?

I agree 100%
I got a pdf with a rubber band trick and photos of Dan taking a bath. I got my monies worth on this project!

I have a 45min drive to my next job, and you put up a 45min video. Impeccable timing
Listen and drive at 1.5x - pow! You can get an extra 15mins of sleep. 😊
YES!!!! Magic News !!!!!! Sit back with a beer and enjoy .
Hope you like it

I think most of the money at the Magic Cafe is spent on online lessons in bullying for some of the members
Thanks for the heads up about the Magic Cafe - I was wondering why I can’t find it anymore.
Dan Harlan's daughter has been in the hospital with a systemic infection, and now his wife is sick, so that may enter into it.
Well all we want is some form of accountability. Faith goes both ways. These problems didn’t stop his wife from sending a letter asking us to donate money to buy him a new computer.
That’s terrible but as Bernard said if he communicated this with the people that sent him their money there would be less of an issue
Perhaps people are not aware that Dan's long term GF died in a car accident during The Big Flu. Her loss took a huge toll on him. Dan's new wife is a huge help to him and I'm sure that the book will make it into people's hands.
So why are we hearing about this from third party sources instead of him explaining to us subscribers?
I’m sure you are right. Dan is a good guy. But the lack of communication is killing Jim

I don't propose it... but it would be funn,y if the Cardiff magic society could watch that lecture on youtube for free right?
They are welcome to!! lol!
the book money went to a wonderful wedding!
Well that’s just unsubstantiated speculation bro. We need to hear from the creator himself.
Thanks Craig! It seems now, that when we order magic online, many of the shops say "It's on the way...just a few more days/weeks/months. Not all, but some just turn around and send it out of China, or who knows where! Please do not take our money if you do not have the merchandise in stock!
Psst…the real secret of magic is the secrets aren’t where the magic is.
This!!!!

I agree. If it’s someone else’s creation it should be off limits totally

Thanks you. You have just said what I was trying to say in a far more elegant way
@ You are the man, Craig. Keep on fighting for the ones who don’t have much.
WTF! The great Dan Harlan is so broke he can't. afford a laptop! How?
I think where exposure videos becomes an issue is when they exposes another magicians magic.
Exactly this…
When is Atomic deck coming out please?
