What is up with this guy?

[SimplyMagic14]

Any body seen "Greg Solomon" on You Tube? This guy must think we care to hear him talk. I say if you are going to "REVEAL" then just do it and shut up!

I've been doing "Scotch & Soda" for awhile now. May be he should show us all how to set it up again with out walking around a corner!

Welcome all thoughts on this guy and the use of the "WORLD WIDE WEB" to give away secrets...

... Also DOES anyone have any ideas for setting this effect up without removing ones self from the spectators view...

Dude, all I can say to this is you live by the sword, you die by the sword. There will probably come a day when this young man creates or produces something or has a really cool idea, only to have some snot-nosed brat rip him off.
As for your dilemma with Scotch and Soda, the simplest solution is also the hardest; which would be putting sometime and practice learning an un-gimmicked version of the trick.
Because of the nature of the gimmick involved, I don't think there could possibly be a convenient way of setting it up in front of spectators.

Greg Solomon is an older man who instructs you to call a magician out on his tricks when the magician is getting more attention than you are.

I remember watching this guy awhile back, thought he was interesting. However, upon a bit more observation he is just an old man with very flawed ideals.

His views on magicians revealing things once you pay them is so flawed I would love to kick him in shin. It's called a business, you are selling the effects not revealing them as he calls it. I find it ridicolous he says "any magic shop... the magicians will reveal the illusions for some money." Well it's called shop, and has magic in the title of the store so I'm guessing they sell them.

He's a silly old man and thinks he looks a bit more sophiscated talking in that pipe of his while he talks. I could talk with a cheeseburger in mouth all the time but I choose not to, because it's not only rude but silly to do such a thing when it's easier and more efficient to just use your mouth.

My bad, I just assumed that it was a kid because that's who i'm used to seeing spoil magic for everybody. I did a Greg Solomon search on Youtube, and I could see why this thread was made. It is sad that he is that old and can honestly believe that his ideals are that of a "mature" adult.
I am literally speechless....

Thanks, I'll try that. It will go over better then "excuse me while I turn around to separate my gimmick coin I just fooled you with." and then proceed to BANG it on the table behind me... NOT that I did that or anything...LOL
