I have not said much about the Masked Magician who seems to love to spoil the fun and mystery of magic. I don't understand why he still wears the mask all magicians know who he is. I guess he is ashamed of his own face. Most of what he so calls exposes is all ideas not used very much anymore. Also some of it he just seems to make up as he goes.
My suggestion is that if you enjoy watching magic then don't watch the masked magician. A great magician is much more just just the tricks he or she does. I think that is one reason why this man exposes magic. He was not and is not a very good magicial entertainer. He couldn't make a living doing shows so he chose to sell out the craft he claims he loves. You can teach a monkey to do a magic trick, but can you teach him to entertain with that trick?
The one good thing about these shows is that they are not on a major network, but rather small local stations.
This guy is like a bad cold that just want go away.
Ok that is all I have to say about the masked jerk, sorry magician.

I realize this is an older post, but I still think it's pertinent. As you said, the masked magician was exposing a lot of tricks that nobody did anymore - true, and he did touch on a lot of different facets of illusion - but did you notice that he didn't do anything with doves? Probably because his own lounge act in Vegas was comprised of dove work. I've seen him perform - the only place I could find him was on You Tube - he was amateurish, at best.
Of course, we still have to remember that anybody who wants to do the research can uncover how most of the exposed tricks are done. I remember finding several books on illusions at my school library when I was growing up. If you looked at the cards - I was the only one checking them out. Most people don't really WANT to know how the tricks are done - that spoils the illusion. I made it a point to listen at work the day after those shows came on - most of the time, everyone had changed the channel after a few minutes. Like everything else on TV - he was a flash in the pan.
