The magic of IP

Over on Kevin Roberts' blog he has posted an interesting discussion about the way illusionists and stage magicians protect their Intellectual Property without resorting the IP Law.

He bases much of the post on an article, Secrets Revealed: How Magicians Protect Intellectual Property Without Law By Jacob Loshin. (Download as PDF - highly recommended if you have any interest in IP or the Creative Economy).

Mr Roberts also posts this clip from what looks like a British talent show (featuring David Hasselhoff and Sharon Osbourne as judges - don't let that put you off though - the illusion is brilliant).
