In a previous discussion it was determined that
most magic tricks aren't

it's written down in a book or recorded on a DVD or video is

However, isn't exposure of commercially
available effects considered
[[piracy]] then?
I don't see how. It's possible that stealing someone else's trick for
your magic show might be piracy, but describing a trick in an
encyclopedia article shouldn't be. We're not reproducing the trick,
just describing it.
