Laurence Miller (paperelements/TheBicycleman) Exposed
 
A professional looking magician with a professional looking set, stealing people their sleights and making big money "teaching" those without any permissions or credits. "Teaching" because although he says so, there really isn't a lot of actual teaching on his releases. He obviously just does it all for the money.

Many people fell for this guy as they thought he and his stuff were all legit, not knowing that seriously everything he showed was (and still is) stolen till they bought his previous DVD or a membership to his website. And many of his YouTube videos are an absolute joke, like these ones:

Who knows what his 'Advanced Double Lifts' look like?


Indeed, we have to figure it out by ourselves. He won't teach a thing. At least that's how he worked back in the day and I doubt he changed because he doesn't even want to share his website link in public. How pathetic!

He made a new YouTube channel and website thinking people forgot about him. Obviously, he still is a disgrace to the art. Be sure to not run into this guy nor to support him!

Someone actually took the time to make a website exposing this guy. Be sure to check it out: http://www.bicyclemandvd.com/

Well I have just finished reading the sources. This guy is outrageous! What he is doing needs to be stopped.

Apparently, Miller is now posting tutorials.

I've recently found his videos. It's sad how he is corrupt by doing that. Because he is a great magician. His Pull Back Pass is SOOOOO SMOOOOTH! Like seriously it looks beautiful.
Why is it the best ones go bad?

Well, David (TheMisdirectingHand) sent me a facebook video a while back of himself doing "the pullback pass" and it looks great. Its basically a herman with subtleties. This guy Miller seems to think he's alot more special than he is!

Yes it is a small variation but it is a cool handling enough to make it look really smooth with practice. Atleast it's not a Brick Pass :P
But it seems he has a large ego. As I stated before, why is it the best people go bad :( Quite sad.

Let's just hope Mark stays on track ;)

We will make sure that happens! :cool:

yeah, the guy's pass is good enough to make me try and imitate it( not that big an honor, but it's still something). Too bad he goes on the dark side of magic, using it to scam people. Mark... yeah, may be Albert, may be... it's hard to predict the future

Actually the 'pullback pass' is Tabias Pashia's P.S Pass. Miller just stole it like everything else.
