You misunderstood me, i never said that either. I was only making the point that most people care more about esthetics than bad crediting when purchasing something.

I also never said you disagreed with me on people learning their sleights correctly. On the contrary, I was agreeing with you about this, only I was also trying to convey, without actually saying because I didn't want to appear rude, that this is in fact probably more worthy of debate.

Interesting you chose number [1], personally I would have gone for number [2].

What I mean by cheap exposure is people in any public domain, claiming to be magicians and revealing methods for reasons that I can't answer. These people no nothing about the magicians oath, whereby one should never reveal the method either outright or through lack of practice etc.
Okay, maybe "personal success" is fairly strong, but look at the MASKED MAGICIAN giving away secrets for nothing. Surely this has an effect on a magicians success, maybe not you personally, but if everyone knew the secrets there would be no magic and much worse, if magic was how you made a living... That's why I'd go for number [2].
