Magic Tricks To Learn

Is it illegal to reveal magic tricks?

I have bought many books and DvD's on Card tricks...I was wondering if I could make a DvD of my own revealing all the tricks I have been taught. Would this be illegal?

1. not as long as you give credit to thepeople who invinted those tricks.
2. Of Course Not! There's already a show called "Magic's Biggest Secret's Finnaly Revealed" it was a 5 part show. as long as you give credit to the inventor of the trick's then yes you can do that.
3. no it is not, but every time you reveal magic tricks the magician is not very happy because the whole point of magic is to be amazed. Also soon every trick will be revealed and magic will then become pointless. And most people want to be amazed, withought knowing how its done.
4. No, it is not illegal to do this. I myself have published a number of books about magic. The thing about information is once it is learned by you, that information is yours to do with as you please. The only thing you need to watch out for is plagiarism, always put everything into your own words or put your own spin or variation on a trick.
