Sometimes “working” magicians are pieces of sh*t. I posted a video of a trick with bills on TikTok, and Joe Rodiguez (Jrod Illusions) decides to post how he thinks it works. That’s part of TikTok’s game with magic videos for amateur magicians and I understand that and am OK with that. But when a supposed working magician exposes stuff, it’s makes me want to post on all of their videos how they do stuff. I won’t because that gives them engagement, which is TikTok gold.
OK, so here’s the video:

Ok, you’ve seen the video, now here’s his comment:
Here’s the problem with his comment…he’s 100% wrong. Like a beginner magician should know there are no magnets involved in the trick…and he calls himself a professional. It really makes me wonder about the quality of the material of his show based on the lack of knowledge displayed in that comment. While I haven’t seen his show, I would suspect it’s pretty much garbage tricks done poorly by someone who doesn’t understand magic. I could be wrong, and that’s just my opinion.
Anyway, those are my thoughts on Joe Rodiguez (Jrod Illusions).

I don’t do TikTok . Does TikTok allow you as the account owner who posted the video to delete comments and block POS users like Jrod? I like that on YouTube or Facebook they at least allow you to delete inappropriate or obnoxious comments and block users who won’t play nice. I would refuse to play TikTok’s games. They reward bad behavior. To me exposers and smarmy know-it-alls like Jrod who seek to impress people with how they are “in the know” at the expense of a fellow performer are the lowest forms of life. I have no tolerance for that behavior. Justin Flom , Murray Sawchuck ,all of those jerks, are dead to me.
tiktok is interesting, as it need engagement. Honestly I don’t care if its some dopey kid saying how they think something works. However when it’s a supposed “working pro” that’s another thing AND they are totally wrong!
I have blocked him there.
