Hmm... I've seen some great performers doing that and I've done it myself in the past too, without any problem. If you merge the statement into the performance nicely and don't put much attention to...

I don't think there is anything unethical about an accident. For a chef, it may be unethical to not double check though.

The definition of 'unethical' is simple: not conforming to approved...

@Rokk, I think you forget or don't realize that marketing (and thus advertising) is much more than making money. To get known may as well be the biggest aspect of it. People who lie outside of...

But laymen believe him on not using stooges and camera trickery, and then they buy tickets to his show and find out he is not nearby as good as he seems to be on TV. Even the couple of actual stage...

Great link. I seen it before but I don't really agree with everything Marco said. Basically he says magic is self-deception, but that would mean the magician should shut up during his performance or...

But I agree with what...

I thought I put a clear area between manipulating and lying, but I don't like the grey area in what you said, Albert.
