The BEST cards for magic & shuffling & everything else: amzn.to/2ELzLIr
Close-up card mat - every magician needs one: amzn.to/35RKdds
Low cost (but still really great) book to start learning card magic: amzn.to/2Qhag7n
More expensive (but the best!) book to start learning card magic: amzn.to/2rkLXwE
Advanced card magic book: amzn.to/2EQlOZC
The single most amazing card trick you will ever perform: amzn.to/395UTHo
Visual/powerful trick - spectators love this one, magicians hate it 😂 : amzn.to/2PSOWpM
The Omni Deck - cards turn into glass block: amzn.to/35SRLMO
DOUBLE CROSS - Minds blown... everyone LOVES this trick ❤️: amzn.to/2Qd2xH9
--- Camera / Recording Equipment ---
** I personally use these items below for filming my videos!
📷 My Main Camera (fast autofocus): amzn.to/2MwhPEA
🎥 Lens for "talking to the camera" (great bokeh): amzn.to/2MtgAWQ
💡 Powerful Light (helps video quality): amzn.to/2QOTFcw
👍 Soft Box (for that nice soft light on your face): amzn.to/2NriW99
🎙 Microphone with arm: amzn.to/33xgV3x
Extra equipment
🔵 Tripod for camera: amzn.to/2U1O8Ri
🔵 Light Stand: amzn.to/3aawnoM
This light stand is kinda not sturdy enough because the light and soft box are so large; the whole thing can tip over easily. But it's what I use! 😆 Or you can perhaps find another light stand that is rated to hold more weight. Or just put something heavy (like sandbags) onto the bottom to lower the center of gravity.
-- AESOP'S FABLES book -- In case you want to follow along. :) This version looks almost identical, but I see mine was published in 2014 and has a bear on the front cover. I believe it's the exact same concept though. A fun little book with thought-provoking stories from long ago.

Well done for handling this. One important lesson from hearing yourself being positive and yet not deriving any comfort from that - sometimes, when a friend is suffering, we start throwing all that 'Think positive!' gumph at them, being all patronisingly positive and totally dismissing how bad they feel. What they really need is just someone to listen and say 'Man, that sucks'. So I'll say it; 'Jason my man, damn. All that work, all those Likes and comments lost from the algorithm. Man, that sucks!'
yes J send them to hell and keep on
l watch either way duder.. and i didnt start watching your channel because of penn and teller ... i just found you and have watched ever since..
@@MrMajintiger Exactly mirroring my philosophy: *JP is the STAR*
Whoever clicked the flag button from the fool us company probably did not understand the value to the show they were deleting.
Any content you drop will be always filled with positivity, cause that's just the person you are. It's cool whatever you drop I see.
thanks very much Cat Cat :)
I wouldn’t even know about Fool Us if I didn’t find your videos
I knew about the show, but honestly, I preferred watching it by watching Jason's reaction videos!
@@ragweedmakesmesneeze i watch Fool Us, then Jason, then fool us again and sometimes again and again if the magic is really good.
same here
@@ragweedmakesmesneeze isn't that where the whole problem begins?
@@AshwinRajesh5725 True, from a certain point of view. But I think it's important that content producers, especially the traditional television production companies, take into account the myriad way viewers today consume media. Shutting down folks like Jason who are creating new ways to experience or re-experience said content is, I believe short-sighted.
Couple thoughts:
1) What probably got you in trouble with the CW was reacting to current-season episodes. You probably wouldn't have an issue if you stuck to waiting till they weren't brand-new.
2) You were most likely caught up in a sweep of them trying to wipe out all the folks who are just sharing the current season's episodes straight-up.
3) While Fair Use is still somewhat of a grey area, you can (and should) dispute the copyright claims through RUclips's system (which is a far cry from an expensive & protracted legal battle). Point out in your dispute that you believe what you're doing falls under Fair Use since you're providing commentary on the tricks and adding things like interviews with the magicians to discuss their performances. They may still deny your dispute, but I think you'd be doing yourself, your channel, and your subscribers a disservice if you didn't at least try.
Well I kept it simple for this video... originally I was going to do a whole section explaining the dispute resolution process on here. I tried for one video, they rejected the dispute.... I'm not willing to escalate it further because of the risk involved from there on out. I did dispute 3 other videos because they included magician interviews inside of them... still waiting to hear what they say. But probably they have just hired some company to manage this process and they will make those interview/reaction videos blocked soon. And I'll have to upload the interview portion separately. I did my best to keep this video short enough, but still kinda explain why I'm doing what I'm doing. Also... I spoke with several other magicians who said their videos were claimed as well.... currently the idea is they are trying to work with the producers of Fool Us to get their particular videos white-listed. So I'm definitely trying as much as makes sense... but I have to weigh the risk that too much escalation of the dispute process can raise.
Yeah. I am still seeing a bunch of your FU reactions, so I wonder if it’s just current season episodes that are being blocked? Is there another older episode you can try? (I know it’s a lot of work ....).
@@JasonParkerMagic I think you should contact claimant (should be stated in notice who is in action, if it's CW or hired company) and ask them why only recent videos triggered it and how would you comply for fair use in the future. I mean normally - they would claim ALL videos as there is no technical difference between them so there must be a reason why they didn't and left it be as fair use.
Doesn't matter that they're brand new
Fair use is fair use. Reaction/commentary is fair use. The copyright strikes are frivolous and unfair. Its not a grey area and your rights are protected.
Please reconsider your decision to not dispute. This is how large corporations bully smaller channels. Stand up to them.
@@JasonParkerMagic hey Jason. i'm just a random youtube commenter so obviously take what i say with a grain of salt. but a friend of mine who i've known forever has a pretty big following (2mil twitch followers, 500mil youtube views, 500k twitter followers) and you're 100% right about not wanting to escalate the dispute process. some of the other comments telling you to push back hard against the claims obviously aren't familiar with the system. if they reject the initial dispute, there's a 99% chance that pushing it further will do nothing to help you. and as you said in the video, if you try to pursue any legal action, they will just bury you. it sucks, but it is how it is.
i'm sure you already know this (and it seems like you're already doing this), but i think your best course of action would be to poke around the magic community and see if you can find a way to get Penn and/or Teller's ear directly. at the end of the day, The CW owns all of the rights and P&T can't outright overrule them, but i believe Fool Us is one of the highest viewership shows on the network so P&T should have some level of pull.
as a final note, i'd suggest checking out Davie504's channel for some inspiration as you transition your channel structure. his content is completely unrelated to yours, and his personality is a lot different, but his format is very similar to what you want to do (a mix of self-performance videos and reaction videos) and i think there are a lot of concepts you could take and mold to fit your personality and channel direction.
anyway, like i said, i'm just some rando youtube commenter, but i hope at least some of that helps, if you happen to read this.
Great idea about reacting to other magic outside Fool us. Maybe react to old magic like slydini, paul harris, david copperfield etc.
Bro when I saw the notification I thought u were hacked😂
haha really? because of the nuke??
@@JasonParkerMagic that was my thought as well when the title was indicating under attack. Figured either youd been hacked, or some asshat reported a bunch of videos or something.
Go for Odysee/LBRY, u will gain more money and u can upload all your content, no content id problems.
its the future.
Just joined your Patreon as an Epic Friend.
Wanted to through you some love and support during these hard times. I have definitely went through some tough times myself:
Born in an abusive home, and then having to be raised by my grandparents.
Brother dying of a drug overdose.
I got into medical school, made it through the first year, but dropped out before starting the second year because I knew the curriculum was getting hard and I wouldn’t make it.
Ultimately, I went back to school, got my MBA, started my own business, and now I’m doing great. Still have some emotional baggage, but everything being considered, I call it a win.
A quote that got me through a lot of tough times:
“When you get to the end of your rope, tie an knot and hang on.”
As long as there is breath in your body, blood pumping through your heart, and a soul that refuses to cower; there is always hope, and Victory is a destination that the persistent will find!
Wow that’s an impressive story to hear! Thank you for sharing it... I love to hear when people succeed despite the situation. And thanks for joining the Patreon too at that level! 🙂
Dude just make videos with those 2 women and the don’t forget the brunette from Ukraine. You’ll be fine.
haha maybe
@@JasonParkerMagic Man, like seriously. We all want to see those girls again.
The fool Us Co is nuts. Dont they realize you are bringing them new viewers? Like me? Big companies make mistakes....and can fix them if the right individuals in management get involved. Good luck Jason!
Thanks so much Hal! well its not "Fool Us" itself... it's actually the television network that pays for the show who claimed my videos.
Just a thought, but have you tried contacting Penn himself? His libertarian streak might very well feel your channel is more of a help than a threat
Penn might help ... but he might be limited as he is likely a hired to produce shows for the network and the shows become the networks property.
Sure. But odds are they have a fair amount of sway if they choose to exercise it.
"Libertarians" like Penn don't believe in actual liberty, they believe that notions of private property should restrict people's liberty.
@@annaclarafenyo8185 I'm no fan of the whole "libertarian" idea (mostly I think it's juvenile and entitled) , but your characterization has little to do with what "libertarians' believe.
@@weedywet The word "liberatarian" is a replacement for "anarchist" designed to remove the stigma from anarchy. It started as a far-left movement in Europe, a splinter group from Marx's internationale, which started with the observation that property rights are always a restriction on liberty.
For example, a person who owns a field can put up a 'no trespassing' sign, thereby limiting my liberty to graze cattle there. When a musician slaps a copyright on my video, they are restricting my liberty to share the music with my friends. A theatre owner prevents me from selling home-made popcorn in their establishment.
So liberatrians wanted to end property enforcement. The idea was that workers would simply take over the place of business and tenants would take over residences.
This is what libertarian meant for decades.
In the 1970s, conservative Americans, looking for a rebrand, borrowed the name "liberatarian" and pretended it means "unrestricted capitalism without government intervention". They liked the name libertarian, but wanted to avoid the whole 'no property' part.
Penn is an American liberatarian, which means he has the same set of nonsensical beliefs-- unrestricted capitalism and government only to enforce property owners claims, not those of the people they oppress.
It is an evil ideology, the one most destructive to the entire human project, and everyone who participated in it is damned.
LASTLY what's the problem with contacting P&T and getting their PERMISSION?
If it's a new dystopian YT rule P&T might not have anything to do with blocking your channel - _l thought they liked helping young up and coming entrants to the Big Magic Arena_ ?
TBH, i only came to know about FoolUs because of you. And then RUclips started recommending more FoolUs videos. It was fine at first, but i noticed this year the number of channels doing FoolUs videos has greatly exploded. Maybe CW/Fool Us is reacting to that. Tragedy of the Commons. Damn.
don't the individuals usually post their own FU appearances? Are those getting flagged? Could you react to the magician's posting of the FU appearance?
To be honest (negative stuff first, useful stuff at the end): as someone who has studied US fair use law quite a bit and knows the type of reaction videos you used to make I think that you really were in the dark side of the grey zone, so backing out of that is probably a good idea. At the end of the day with fair use law there is typically a simple question to start with "would the consumer of my new work still have a similar amount of reason to watch the original work". If the answer is a resounding "no" and on top of that you're publishing your work commercially... well lets just say that it probably wasn't fair use. The sum of your episodes basically contained *everything* from the source material. And that's the harsh reality, a lot of your subscribers were here because of liking the source material you were publishing without paying for it. Not to say you weren't giving any additional value, but to me your "fable at the end" construction always felt a bit like a malicious hack to prevent too much of the video being used under a fair use claim. I would be sincerely curious how many people stopped watching before the fable section, but I would bet it's the large large majority. Anyway, more positively, what you could do to make your fair use claim far stronger is to use only the moments of magic (leaving out the intro, any showmanship, any reactions by penn & teller, etc.) and then discuss various techniques to achieve such effects and showing (simpler) versions of it yourself. That way you can retain at least a big group of your fans without the moral and legal issues.
I bet that corporation has nothing to do with the actual fool us, they are just dicks... on youtube there are two kinds of shit people, the I wull take your money and the I will ruin you because my ninckname is pandamic or corona... well, I have one thing to tell you: welcome to youtube! You have become so good that people envy your success here.
No Fool Us reactions are gonna suck but I’m still gonna be here for your new content! ✊
ViacomCBS seems to have become increasingly aggressive. But if it crosses the line and attacks innocent content creators, legal action against the aggression should be taken.
I’m sorry this has happened to you. I’m looking forward to seeing your new reaction videos and tutorials.
I appreciate that Cory :)
RUclips is going overboard with copyright infringement notices, might as well just fillm a black hole. RUclipsrs produce quality content and this is the result. Everyone should Boycott RUclips.
Monopolization of content simply stops creativity plus you are providing said network with free promotion.
I'm watching ur channel just because of Fool Us :( other videos don't interest me. I hope you will can soon reacts again to Fool Us. How about videos with texan? I love it and I really would love to hear you talk in texan :D
Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
- J.R.R.Tolkien -
This shows the insanity of corporate greed and current copyright laws. There is no way this harms the network, just the opposite. But they are going to block it anyway.
As penn J has said.... make stupid laws get stupid results.
I agree... I think my covering Fool Us all the time, promotes a conversation around the show helps keep it in the spotlight. Not like that is needed. But I do think the videos I make are more helpful than harmful to the show itself.
You got me into magic just a month ago through your Fool Us reactions. No matter what you do, I will keep watching. I would really like to see some tutorials. Greetings from Germany
Initially, I found you by searching for Shin Lim over a year ago, and didn't even know about Fool Us. Keep going bro, there's more to magic than Fool Us, and your channel will be even better.
I guess CW doesn’t want me watching Fool Us. I only ever watched it on this channel since the Jason showcased the best acts from the show.
I am in the same boat, and that is the reason they blocked this content. They want to control the distribution of their show, and own the advertising revenue. That is a shame, would be good if the networks considered reaction videos as part of their influencer network and could find a way to work with content creators like Jason. There is a win win ground here, but maybe not willingness on the network side.
I would be happy to talk to them, and find some way to make it work. But I don't even have a contact. I tried emailing the Fool Us producers... tried emailing the CW.... heard nothing back.
The CW makes money off commercial revenue and pay to have the show made. It needs to be a win win. The CW is within their rights easily. They are not the bad guy and neither is Jason. Just hope something can be worked out to make something work.
@@JasonParkerMagic You have contact information from some of the magicians that went on. They might be able to point you in the right direction or have a phone number to call. You might be able to work a deal to present content in a different way. I am pretty sure showing the entire performance would be a no go though. Edited down to 30 seconds or so might be possible. But at this point it will need their blessing and guidelines.
The CW doesn't care if you aren't watching, if you were never watching it on their network originally. Making it so you have to watch it on the network or not watch it at all, is the entire point. No network cares whether or not people who don't watch it on the network likes the show or not. They only care about people watching in a way that generates profit, or at the very least recoups the costs of the show's production. They couldn't care less about people who watched it without their benefit no longer watching it, and rightfully so.
You could probably continue showing Fool Us content if you edited it so that most of the time the actual Fool Us show was not seen, just your reaction to it with the total amount of the show being shown was < 10% of the episode length (Fair Use limit)
Yeah but would such a video be an enjoyable package to watch here on YT? I feel like it might not be complete / interesting enough. 🤔 Videos have to perform well enough if YT will start suggesting them to more people....
@@JasonParkerMagic If they were edited well, and the right 10% were shown, I absolutely think so. Some performances that are long spectacles, like Shim Lim would not work as well in that format, but acts that have a bunch of setup to a single moment of "ah ha!" would work well. You would have to end up recording more videos than you produced, but at least you'd only have to edit the ones that had a single major moment of magic.
However, Fool Us has done you a bit of a favor in that it has a decent amount that is MADE to cut. You can easily cut the magician intro. You can usually cut the interview with Willow, er I mean Alyson Hannigan, On non-fooling acts you can cut Penn Saying how much he loved the act.
That leaves you being able to show your face reacting at first, and only showing the parts of the magic that are key. I think you can easily do so showing just 10% of the segment. Then you talk about it afterward, and link to the legit youtube links (assuming that the magicians' pages are allowed to show the performance) and still have a mini-interview at the end. I think that you still absolutely have watchable content.
@@JasonParkerMagic If it led into an interview ... sure. On editing interviews ... try to have a strong line of questions to keep the interview going. Shoot them like it is live and then just edit when you need to.
They found out that 80% of their present viewers are coming from RUclips. So they are just taking their RUclips game a bit seriously ("a bit" for an elephant would be huge anyways😂).
Reddit reactions. Heck yeah!
Do Instagram reactions too please 😷
I used your channel as notification to go watch Fool Us. I may forget to go watch without your videos. Will still watch Fool Us, but will need to try to remember and check for new episodes.
Hi Jason, please interview Asi wind
Sounds like time to boycott Fool us. I'm stopping watching it.. lol nicely use of Ne.. lol
haha glad you got the reference to Monty Python there :) ... "a shrubbery!!!!".... :) also don't worry about boycotting Fool Us on my behalf.... if you enjoy it, then just enjoy it! :)
You could always post fool us reactions on your Patreon. I would pay for that content
That would lead him into more serious legal problems, without RUclips protecting him. In any other platform he would be immediately sued and would possibly forced to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I Feel you Man, one of the reason i stopped my channel too, ill start again soon,, hopefully,
No more Fool Us reactions?
Hey Jason, well done on pivoting and adapting to a really challenging situation. Your channel will continue to be awesome with your new content. Looking forward to more great videos! 👍👍👍
Tutorials, reactions to all kinds of magic, performing magic, whatever you do it will be awesome, the internet needs more good clean entertainment like you provide.... P.S. if I was from Fool Us I would give you the green light, your channel is positive entertaining, and makes them look good, I wouldn't be surprised if they see it the same way.
Do not Trust Censor Tube
It truly sucks to be picked on. The whole "RUclips" thing with all their crap... IS CRAP. We all know it. You do, REALLY, now.
As much as I like the reaction videos, CW probably has a reasonable copyright claim here. Unlike, say, a "review" where a few trailer style snippets of a show might be shown, the reaction videos contain entire sections of the show in their entirety with additional commentary layered over it. They're more like "director's commentary" style versions of the original program than something more in line with simple excerpts.
That's not to say all reaction videos aren't fair use. Basically I suspect the more of the original content that's included in the reaction video the weaker the fair use claim would be.
Yeah they might have a claim... it's hard to say also because I only react to a small piece of the show. Usually one magician per full episode that has 5 performances. Plus I could argue my reactions and transformative commentary.. But yeah... I am using quite a lot of the video. So.... it's hard to say. But not a battle I should be fighting. Giant vs the ant in any case.
@@JasonParkerMagic Well I'm staying subscribed either way, good luck! 😄
Don't you worry...plenty of magic outside fool us......yes, it was cool also getting Penn & Teller's insight too but it is what it is......I love your reactions......React to any magic we'll continue supporting you......Love the spirit though and how you handling this.......Keep that head up......
I feel like Fool Us is pretty damn cringe: Alyson's awkward, worthless banter (itself cherry-picked from MUCH footage); the embarrassing intro videos; Penn's bad acting when the audience already knows the judges have decided the trick to be a fooler or not; Alyson's realization that the trick is a fooler, and she feigns excitement... gotta admit that Got Talent is somehow even worse (size XL Dunkin Donuts).
FOOL ME
You can start your own show, giving out Jason Trophy.
Who knows, you might be so famous that P&T will stand in line to perform in your show :)
No investment needed. They do it on the screen. You get a nice Ukrainian girl.
Start it as for beginners. There are more young talents out there, looking for a stage as Covid virus!
*
Extra twist: Since they have to tell to your friend, how the trick is done, you will have a warehouse of tricks, you can sell undercover. ... for the same guys :)
*
Extra + : You could have a short interview with them, instead of a quick intro.
*
You can start with Mago Tomas, 16 yrs old from Spain. They need stage!
What a shock, you went WELL BEYOND what could be anywhere near considered "fair use" by uploading entire episodes of television shows and got strikes for it, who'd've guessed??
Maybe do some reactions to vintage magic...like from Paul Daniels magic show?? That’d be pretty cool

Hi Jason. I'm really happy that you have found a way forward. I've really enjoyed the reaction videos, more so that when the way a trick is performed is revealed, which to me just spoils the magic. Obviously, like everyone else, I know that magic isn't real but I can really appreciate the amazing skill behind the performance of the trick. Plus, if even P&T can't figure it out - well, that just WOW!. Take heart, keep going. You provide lots of enjoyment to your fans.
7:19 Well said Mica 7:8
This is my first ever #JasonParker channel comment, despite being subscribed for forever... +1 to that RUclips algorithm my friend! Please continue to make videos, making and keeping a community is difficult and I applaud you for your efforts. (Including the breaking out in Hives... shows we are all human after all!) I will be clicking your channel and viewing your videos manually ;) to kick the Algorithm in the gears!
You should check out Reckless Ben's fight with TBS. He's an ant going up against an elephant, but he's doing it very interestingly. Even if you don't copy him, he's still a very underrated RUclipsr, just like you!
honestly, im suprised it took this long, tv stations have no foward vision, just be happy it lasted this long
I really wanted to see you react to Seth Raphael's trick. Sigh. Too bad.
It sucks because I know often your source video had to have been from the magician's own channels. Videos the show authorized THEM to use. Just not you.
Really the people losing out are the magicians. You were giving THEM extra publicity. Up to and including some interviews.
Jeeez - such crappy news Jason.
Just some random thoughts:
I'm not a legal beagle nor do I have any particular experience with fair use copyright law, but it is possible they came after you on two specific grounds -
A. You showed the segments in their entirety
B. The segments shown are from the current season of Fool Us
Perhaps if you edited the FU segments down to the magic act itself and P&T's response and leave out the magician intro and the conversation with Allison? I mean this is the crux of what you are trying to do - show the magic and see if P&T can figure it out compared to your analysis. This might move you back into the fair use envelope. Maybe invest some money and get some advice from a real expert. Perhaps you can float a trial upload using an older P&T video and remove all the fluff? Also, maybe include a link to the CW YT channel of the episode?
I am amazed (and gladdened) that you are maintaining your positivity. That's a big part of your personal appeal - happy that the corporate titans didn't stomp that out of you. Were it me, I'd probably be well into the 2nd day of a 5 day vodka bender by now.
I doubt writing P&T will help. Even if they were willing (not guaranteed), while they may own the material, CW owns the distribution rights under contract. There is little P&T could do.
I don't have much money, but I'll send you $100 so you can continue to eat (at least for a week). Keep on plugging away, think outside the box, stay positive, avoid vodka benders and you'll come out ahead I'm sure.
Looking fwd to your next series of videos.
Man I've been wondering what happened to you. Watching fool us videos, wondering where is my fav commentator on this stuff. Sorry that all happened. Bring on the newsletter lmao. Way to go 2021.
Oof. I just found your channel a week or two ago. Watched all of the Fool Us videos and was sad when I saw it looked like you stopped doing them, especially since you said you were going to do all of them from the beginning! And now I see why... That sucks, but you'll find something. The key is to try lots of different things, put your heart into each one, and see what sticks. 1,000 ways not to build a lightbulb and all. Whatever you do will be awesome, because you're awesome :)
Hey, if you search google for Lennart Green: Close-up card magic with a twist. Youll get 2 links, a youtube and a TED link. Watch the TED link its better quality. Even if you dont do a reaction to it i think youll love the performance.
I have been a subscriber when you had about 600 subs. Honestly, the Penn and Teller Fool Us got me to you.
1. I think you should dispute them. Worst they say is "no" on RUclips.
2. Make magic tricks with good looking girls. Hate to say that. But it sells lol.
3. Do magic tricks in public and post it on RUclips. That always sell.
It's worth to challenge the automated copyright claims via YT. I think what the FU production company did was to have all of the current series red flagged so nobody just blatantly uploaded them. What the algorithm probably didn't recognize was your commentating+reacting which is covered by the fair use act.
If the FU folks had manually challenged that many of your videos (successfully) this channel probably wouldn't exist anymore.
Tbh, if you fought, i'm pretty sure you would win....
There's some thing I read when I recently got a claim on a video that had been up for years - was a short clip from a movie (like a minute long) and full credits, copyright, link to the copyright owner, imdb etc was all provided, and I wasn't even making anything from it.... but they still stuck it...
After investigating, if I was to do it as a reaction, or review it would be allowed.... But the majority of the video has to be your original content, discussing the 'clip'
it helps showing as little as possible... but honestly, if you had the permission from the performers, or just drop Fool-Us an email, i'm sure you'd be fine! :)
Jason, Long time subscriber / lurker here.
I'm totally on board with the new direction of your videos.
That said, I am begging you, to gather the troops, and try to dispute it. It's Fair Use, and on my first YT channel, I got copyright strikes, refuted the strike, got turned down, disputed anyway, and ended up with the video restored. Don't let them bleed you dry, and give up if you HAVE to, if it makes literally 0 sense to continue. But please dispute, stand up, fight back, and if they're really as all-powerful people paint them as, then go ahead and back down. But I think you'd fare pretty well.
I have always liked Fool Us. Even though I've usually already seen the acts by the time Jason posts a video, I still liked watching his reactions. Gonna have to stop watching Fool Us until they help Jason get rights to react.
All that said, I'm excited to see where the channel goes. I like the idea of the subreddit reactions.
I've been wondering where you've been, and this definently explains it. You know what would be better? Starting your own "trick me" series. Maybe you could get some fellow magicians to appear. 😁
Sorry you’re going through this. Can’t believe this RUclips channel pulls in enough to keep you afloat. Most programming jobs pay well.
I will be 100% honest.. I stayed for the Fool Us reviews, I'm going to leave due to the lack of Fool Us reviews. You are a very talented magician and there is no doubt in my mind you will be very successful. Thank you for the fables and Reviews of Fool Us....
Jason, post your fool us videos on other platforms that don’t block you. It’s where so many censored creatives have gone. For example Rumble and BitChute.
Dang :/ I just found your channel and have been watching all the FU reactions and now I can’t go back to watching the originals “alone”, it feels weird not to have commentary! Have you been on Fool Us yourself? I thought so?
I'm very sorry to hear this bud Been having difficulty connecting the internet in general since the coup in February. Wifi services been shutdown, having to rely on mobile data which isn't ideal for RUclips tbh. Reason why i haven't been on your channel for months.
Now coming back up here today, i got greet with this! Man that's bad. I believe you'll be keep doing great job though. Also shame on them
Jason, you should have a couple of cgi puppets called Tenn and Peller. Tenn and Peller go around with their magic Demonotizing robot named (demon) to take over the content world. Lololo. J/k I love your work just be yourself. You are amazing at what you do. Maybe you can help up and coming magicians on RUclips by working your reaction videos on their content. ? Just an idea. Although the cgi cartoon would be funny. 😂. Your the best Jason. I’m behind you and your work.
(1) RUclips does not automatically block links. I have posted links many times and I have never seen them be blocked.
(2) I never watch the interviews.
(3) I doubt I will watch your vids if they are not FU ones. I will give them a shot though.
(4) There are ways to fight the kind of crap you are going through without abunch of court/law stuff. I am no legal expert though so you will have to do some research if you go that route.
Ive noticed CW network clamping down on P&T videos of Fool Us ,good quality ones of each weeks episode are none existent now.
I feel your pain ,Jerry Sadowitz copyright striked me years ago and monetization was suspended and never came back :(
That's sad. I actually watched most of the Fool Us videos on your channel. I love to watch magic, but mostly to think about how it's done and your channel is perfect. So I will still watch every magic reaction video you do! I was surprised that I didn't subscribe over the last years. RUclips always magically (hehe) showed me your videos. Have subscribed to your channel now!
You should also contact Jeremy from The Quartering and maybe Half-Asian Lawyer Bill Richmond (Steven Crowder's guy) to brief you on how to argue fair use. From my understanding you're in the right as long as you don't simply show the entire magic act without comment or pause. But they are the heroes of those bullied by major corporations on RUclips so you should reach out to them.
Hang in there, big guy. You'll find your stride. Personally I think your answer lies in your two hot Twitter friends and doing magic to amaze them. Magicians have been distracting / entertaining with beautiful assistants for an awfully long time now. Maybe that's a funny path....magic for hot Eastern Europeans.
You've got all these videos blocked and you still stay so professional, wao, you are great. Just react to any other magic video, instagram, facebook, whatever, I'll love to see it, and i'll still will continue watching you.
Ah, and interviews with magicians.
Why do your videos fall under copyright considering you are reacting/analyzing them... I thought if you commented on videos or something it wouldn't fall under a copyright?
Just notice something and wanted to give an update.
On the CW app, they moved Penn & Teller to the "Also on the CW"" category. 🙁
This is where all of the shows, that no longer air, have been placed. But hey, if they do end P&T, it had a great run and introduced me to so many magicians and your channel 👍
***Just a theory*** 😉
Guess I'm not watching Fool Us anymore. Only ever watched it via you. Keep up your positivity!
This might not be the most popular opinion I got to share - and I do enjoy your takes on FU - but here it goes:
Reaction videos are not fair use. Fair use talks about a transformation - which means parody and the likes. There is no transformation, it just changes from "Fool Penn & Teller" to "Fool Jason Parker". Again, I do enjoy the extra bits you provide, but objectively speaking they aren't enough to stand on their own or transform it from one kind of medium to another. To me, you should still have the right to do it, but the law says otherwise. Even moreso, fighting this tooth and nail might even lead to some precedence that ends up hurting "true" (i.e. less grey) instances of fair use. And now I feel dirty because for the first time in the history of capitalism, a company is actually in the right. :/
I hope you find a good way to progress and I'm sad that we didn't get a video of you reacting to Jandro's third appearance.
Sorry to hear your troubles Jason, but I must admit, I often wondered why this didn't happen sooner( knowing what these bastards are like) .We've had a good run though, so let's be grateful( apparently this the best attitude with which to plan and move forward) You have my support, along with that of many others, I'm sure-so let's hit the ground running and make this one of the best RUclips channels around.Without your (fool us ) videos I would not yet have seen them on TV, so stuff these faceless bullies and do the best you can to ignore them by getting on with the job.Maybe you could use the opportunity to develope some of your own effects and methods( seeing as , up to now, you haven't had to) Whatever you do, many of us are with you in spirit. Sadly, since I use only cash, I'm unable to support you and others I subscribe to on RUclips, but I make a point of watching anything you put up- so all the best-we're on your side!!!!
Dude, I’m so sorry 😞. I do enjoy the reaction videos, but your persona conquered my heart and I just want to watch more of your videos.
Good luck moving forward and I will be here to support :-)!
Hey Jason, was the problem solved? or perhaps the takedown was not world-wide? I still can see all the videos in your channel from Spain, including those FU reactions.
extremely disappointing! I wonder if Penn and Teller know this happened. I'm sure they would support 100% what you are doing! we should really get a plethora of this channel's loyal viewers in on writing in to CW and Penn and Teller.
You are the best
Hey Jason
I am a day late, but I hope you see this.
Stay positive and all the best
I used to like your card deck reviews, may you can consider doing that
Also you can talk about history of magic, or the magic culture. People like me just like watching and are don't practice tricks. But are always intrigued with the wonder.
we need someone big like I don't know maybe the great Shawn Farquhar to help champion this cause....Does "the big company" know how many viewers you have funneled to the show, thanks to your reaction videos? look at me, i said we as if I have skin in this game...well maybe I do because you are a great host and I absolutely love your reaction videos and will miss them if they get their way...have you looked into Vimeo or Dailymotion, I'd follow wherever my dude
That SUCKS! I can see them going after the RUclipsrs that try to show how the tricks are done on the show. They deserve to be taken down. You never actually said how the tricks were performed and you gave your reaction before P&T. You only showed one segment, not the whole show. You whet the appetite for your viewers, who could search out how to watch the full episodes through legitimate channels. (The mysterious channel that is not to be named!)
Don't move them to Patreon as it will still be a copyright strike there, as well. Maybe you could reach out to Penn or Teller and see what they think.
Luckily Aesop is dead, so one of my favorite parts of your videos won't be taken away!
I’m fairly certain that what people mean by “fighting” these claims is by submitting evidence in your defense right on RUclips. Nobody suggested for you to take it to court.
I watched Fool Us years ago, but until I saw your reaction videos, I didn’t even know Pen and Teller were even still working. Seems to me that they should be thanking you for the free publicity.
Am seeing a few Reaction type channels facing similar - mainly music reactions. So it doesn't surprise me but it is a shame. Look forward to the new rejuvenated Jason Parker.
Sorry Jason, but if the folks creating a very expensive program are stopping someone who is copying whole sections of their work then simply inserting additional material, that is not an attack. If I suddenly saw some of my best photographs that I make a living from, being sold at a market with nice frames and people were buying them, I too would be thinking that behavior was unfair. What would Aesop say ? Put your comments below.
I think you will do great with the new strategy. Chris Ramsay does a lot of the sort of thing that you are thinking about redirecting toward, as I'm sure you are aware, and his channel is obviously successful doing it. You are an established and eminently likable personality in the RUclips magic scene at this point, so I'm certain you will succeed with any direction you choose to take the cannel in.
I honestly can't really say that I totally blame FoolUs for wanting to control their content, or the network or whoever (although it does fly in the face of Penn's Libertarian views), but I think it's also a boneheaded move. A fundamental misunderstanding of the new media landscape. You brought nothing but hundreds of thousands of new fans to their show lol. I would watch the show, and your reactions, hand in hand. It really detracts from the show not to have your commentary to look forward to, or any commentary (I'm guessing) from RUclips from his point forward.
It's late, I'd like to read all the reactions below - but I'll get to the point. Have you ever reached out to Penn & Teller? You are a fan first of all, if you were to do it like music video reviews (and there are a lot of those) - and you interrupted perhaps more often with insights/commentary, maybe it would not be 'copy right infringement'' per se. I don't know, but I can't see why what you are doing would at all impact their business negatively. I was never planning to buy and own old episodes of Penn & Teller, even though I like them considerably. Without you I probably would not even think of them. I hope you can regain the ability to do your reviews, I truly do. I'll keep watching you, but there always has to be a reason you know. I'm left with the fact that you seem to be a great guy, a pretty good magician, and someone I like to hear from. But your reviews of P&T were fun.
I subscribed to you for the sole purpose of watching fool us videos that I can’t really find anywhere else on RUclips and can’t watch on the TV either because I don’t live in the USA. But I am definitely not planing on unsubscribing any time soon, because your videos are quite captivating and I really want to see what time of content you will come up with. I wish you luck none the less!
Trying to cash in when the show's ratings have dropped tremendously by limiting the show's exposure - sounds about right.
It's a damn shame but given this, I suspect that Fool Us is dead.
I haven’t seen shelf videos nor polls from you. These 2 features are heavily weighted by the current RUclips algorithm.
If you don’t use these features you’ll fall farther and farther behind.
If you’d like a better description of the best methods, The Spiffing Brit created a few videos on the topic. He’s a gamer nerd with an over the top delivery method, but he does go through the details and shares his results of his science experiments on manipulating RUclips.
As a software developer who is time and time again trying to figure out a way to escape from the corporate grind (it doesn't matter whether it's a large company or a hip startup - management tends to be cut from the same cloth. And then you have a decent chunk of developers spewing hot air but who are actually more or less clueless.), I can totally empathize...
Unfortunately, like this video shows, usually, one just trades dependence on one thing for another. In this case the TV channels and Patreon supporters. :/
Of course if what the supporters want to see and what you want to do aligns, it's great.
Jason - I enjoy your videos of Fooler. I was wondering if you can do it a different way. I’m guessing they pulled videos cause you actually showed the video. I’d be open if you give us the name of the magician (then we can go see the video) and you talk about it afterwards. I’d still get your insights and you can speak your code. You can tell us it you thought they would get the trophy or not. Please consider doing this. Thanks.
It's a funny thing life really, I started watching Penn and Teller fool us because of this channel "Magician reacts to magic" sure Penn and Teller is a great show, but the ripple effect is they would probably also lose viewers. It's smaller shows like this that gives goliath a better exposure.
Personally, I think your reaction videos to Fool Us was free advertising for Fool Us.
I would think that P&T are smart enough to know that.
I wonder if they were behind it, or if they did not know anything about it??
Sorry to hear about the big hit, but glad you developed a plan and will be continuing the success of your channel. I always look forward to your content. I honestly wondered if the Fool Us train could continue since you were tackling every episode and showing the full acts from the show. This competes with their own channel and the show itself. I personally ignored their postings and would wait for yours to get the added value of your commentary. Side note: having their shows reproduced on RUclips and not under their control probably weakens the value of their syndication rights for the show...so I'm not surprised, just saddened. Good luck with the new content and I'll definitely be watching.
