Introducing Magic Exposure - Page 2

What I meant is that Sam does more music (he plays in a band) than either magic or flourishes nowadays. He doesn't touch his playing cards as often as he used to.

What do you guys actually think of me going back to making super short color change videos (like this and this or this) and making exposure videos to those upcoming changes (all coming from '125cc'), selling them for $1.50 each, $1 for members?

Travmang · 05-25-2011, 01:05 AM

I personally really enjoy those videos, I'm a fan of the shorter effects that are visual such as all those changes and others as well. So for me that would be pretty awesome and I would support it!

Though I really enjoy your videos of the color changes (because they're just soooo smooth), those are the kinds of videos that you can figure out easily just by watching at normal speed at a normal angle, and not something that you'd pay just for an exposed view of. In addition, many are variations on changes that are widely known, so it's unlikely that there will be much completely new material. The smooth 360, on the other hand...

except for the "smooth" color change, the other color changes aren't going to attract much costumers( i could be wrong tho,with everyone here being magicians who like to test and tease themselves with insane riddles provided on your channel and all), i kinda enjoy the slightly longer tricks than those color changes( i think what you could do it make people pay 2.00$ for the longer vids, and half a dollar discount for members)

Kieran Oloughlin · 05-25-2011, 09:05 AM

Yes an exposure of changes would be good!

Are there gonna be one for smooth?

Mark · 05-26-2011, 11:21 AM

Nope. Instead, we made a deal with all the owners of '125cc' that every change may be re-released apart from 'Smooth'. It'd be far too commercial anyways.

Kieran Oloughlin · 05-27-2011, 02:15 AM

haha! Every change except for smooth? Thats a little odd but meh. Does this mean the rotar cahnge will be relased

Mark · 05-27-2011, 07:43 AM

Why is it odd? 'Smooth' is the by far most wanted color change in the world and it's the biggest selling point of the the whole set.
It means that the 'Rotar Change' may be rereleased but not that it definitely will. It's not that we're going to release all other 124 change techniques now, lol.

Kieran Oloughlin · 05-27-2011, 08:34 AM

Thats exactly why it is odd, it was hugly popular and the most wanted you could sell it for 30 dollars and some would still buy it but it is your choice and if I creted something that great i would probably be protective of it to.

Was there 125 changes on the dvd set? That would explain the title

Mark · 05-27-2011, 10:01 AM

You should stop thinking too commercially. DarkSleightZ isn't anything like Theory 11, Ellusionist, The Blue Crown, etc. We aren't doing it for the money, we do it for the art. Releasing 'Smooth' wouldn't help with that at all. It'd be far too commercial, just like releasing 'On Top Of The World', etc.

It'd be basically me giving away my trademarks, like Lennart Green gave away his. I think that's the stupidest thing a magician could do, and again.. too commercial.

And yes, '125cc' includes 125 color change techniques.

Kieran Oloughlin · 05-27-2011, 10:14 AM

I underastand, respect and support that decision. I would probably do the same

Fin · 06-06-2011, 10:16 PM

I think re-releasing some of your material is a great idea Mark. I for one will buy the rotor and bertram changes.
