Magic VS Internet

Roy Raphaeli is an up and coming magician. He creates video clips of all his magic tricks, and posts then online on Metacafe. From when his first video was published, he has accumulated over $13,000. His videos have been viewed over 1.4 million times. Many companies are "rewarding creativity". As more people go to a site, a pop up will come up. Every time an individual clicks on the pop up, the creators receive money. The creator of the original film usually receives money based on the amount of people that go to the site. In Roy's case, he is making more money putting his trick online than he would if he were to make a DVD. Basically this just shows how much potential there is for up and coming producers etc. Pre-professional video productionists.
Not everyone can achieve what Roy has. It is all about the audience, and how many viewers they can get. Marketing on myspace or facebook helps. There are other means on going about it.
