Not a Facebook page regarding Ed Marlo's control, but one where false and improper marketing within the arts of magic and playing cards is being posted. Y'all better Like and follow it!

Mark, hands down this is a great idea.
In this era of marketing, where, the products are being falsely represented, and oversold, the "unmasking", is just what the people need.
You might hear an argument as such : "False advertisement or not, it's still advertisement, and if people are buying the product, it means they are good at it."
This is a statement you cannot argue with, because it's a fact, but are these people really that desperate?
If so, I fear for the magic community in its entirety.
From the simple philosophy of having fun, which magic was suppose to promote, it got stripped down like a prostitute, where she would do anything for money.

I am very curious, but who is the admin for this?
I just want to say, hands down, that this literally changed the way I look towards some of the products. I was very shocked by the deluxe box by D&D because I am going to own it myself very soon

Thank you for the great idea!

Whoa! This completely changed my view on...
well...
...commercial magic, I guess.
On the bright side, I noticed that ellusionist wasn't on there - hopefully it'll stay that way. I was also quite impressed that Zach Mueller went on and apologized - that was great!

Thanks so much for sharing Mark!
