Opinions on lying in a youtube video

[TommySteal]

So...back to the topic. Opinions on lying in a youtube vid.
Lying is lying whether it's over the internet or in real life, so for me the title should be simply opinions on lying. But anyway.
It's our job as magicians/entertainers to deceive our audience and they fully understand this. So in this sense I don't think there is anything unethical about this type of deception.
I find that problems start to occur with these young youtubers' lack of sophistication and tactfulness. It's perfectly fine to have a duplicate go into the center of the deck and have another ready on top, but only if you can do it convincingly, because after all that is an impossible feat.
Lying to a magician in an advertisement about a particular method/technique in order to sell a product is wrong.
In fact, lying in general where money is concerned is pretty wrong - but that's another story.
Lying to your girlfriend is wrong - don't do it kids.

I agree to that! Let's hope they'll gain some with expirience and age!
