Andy Field used to be one of the best magicians on YouTube but as soon as he started to expose magic, his skills went down the drain and he soon turned into 'just another decent magician' as for handings, rather than the good one he used to be. He probably got kind of lazy.. because.. well.. why would you try to do your very best doing magic if you expose it anyways?
As soon as he made his first exposure videos, I sent Andy a PM asking why exactly he made tutorials. He replied by saying he couldn't answer this question in any text message so I asked him if he wanted to answer or discuss this over Skype, which he ignored. Obviously, he doesn't have any decent reason for what he does. He was taught by some of the best magicians who are against exposure, and these masters certainly never taught him how to give a proper answer to questions like these.
Later on, Andy made a video series on hecklers. Three videos, a lot of repeats, and very bad advices such as "ignore hecklers completely", which I made clear in my video is one of the worst things to do. He soon took those videos down, but he recently uploaded another, much shorter video in which he stuck with his old advices. It shows how many repeats there were in the first series which was about 25 minutes in length, the recent one is only close to 3 minutes but still includes the exact same advices. Click here (http://www.andyfield.info/magic-tips/hecklers.php) if you feel the need to waste 2 minutes and 49 seconds of your life.
Of course, I had the urge to leave constructive feedback to this video, and so I did but Andy obviously didn't like this at all and decided to disable all video comments.
Now, Andy has uploaded two videos on removing cards from their box. One tutorial, and one video showing off. I couldn't resist leaving funny comments to them.
Video 1:

At 0:49 he shows how the magician wants to place the box on his left side, yet in the tutorial he ends up having the box on his right (at 1:41) so I commented:
I'm a bit confused by this tutorial because in the end, the box doesn't end up where the magician wanted it to end up in the first place (which was on the left top of the pad instead of the right). It must be magic, really. =/
Andy deleted this for absolutely no reason. There wasn't any hate involved and it was obviously just meant to be funny. Another Dutch guy left an even more brilliant, more serious comment which Andy didn't remove:
ok, why not put the cardbox down with the left hand ?
I could have done way better.. and harsher.. by commenting "So how can we tell if it's an amateur if you teach them how to put their card boxes down properly?!" (referring to what he says at 0:20).:rolleyes:
Up to the second video:

My comment and replies others left to it (which Andy all removed):
So how are you going to put the card box on your left without crossing over or putting anything down?
