Pen and Teller did reveal cups and balls but I'm pretty sure most spectators can figure somewhat how it's done. They also added their own twist on it with the potato. But the Masked Magician is disputed. I like him and I hate him.
Why Hate Him?
- He reveals tricks to many people and gets paid for it
- Doesn't show any of HIS tricks
- Doesn't give credit to the original makers of it
Why I Like Him?
- In revealing tricks, he makes magicians come up with new tricks, not related ones but completely new ones.
- He keeps the aspect of entertainment in magic he never destroys it. People still will be entertained just not as much.
- Similar methods can be used if the spectator has seen him reveal a trick but we magicians can suddenly change it by adding our own unique ideas to it that still baffle spectators and poor little Val has to go about and bust them again until we make more. Either way, we're ahead of him for anyone who hates him
