This project was born out of anger and despair about the things going on on the magic marketplace. Help to stop that! See what Tim Ellis is rightfully doing already. I think we are not the only ones thinking that way.
We feel that the honest customers in magic should be protected from accidentally or unknowingly buying rip-offs from unscrupulous so-called “magic dealers”.
We feel that the creators giving their efforts, ideas, energy and dedication to the community must be protected.
We feel that the performers must be protected from those chaps stealing acts, act ideas, patter, gags and prop design.
Burglary, plagiarism and ruthlessness have gone beyond limits in our magic society. Sad but true. Though we can’t prevent it completely, we can at least try and actively do something about it. Quoted from Owen Magic Supreme’s Catalog:
“There is hardly anything in the world that some man can not make a little worse and sell a little cheaper — and the people who consider price only are his lawful prey.”
Hopefully this website will make more people aware of what nasty things are going on behind the scenes. And we hope to make people think about copyrights, ethics and intellectual property. Our goal is to protect the creators of magic, who give their ideas to others, who then get the success and recognition. On this website we will list relentlessly every rip-off we can find.
You can be of help in informing us immediately when you discover plagiarism.
Be honest!
Play fair!
Get sensitized!
Respect the creators!
Help us make this an honest magic society again.
Thank You for cooperating,
Bastian Fischer & Alexander de Cova
