What is the name of your state? Canada

The Law
A Magic Trick cannot have a copyright. The trick its self is a series of moves and actions, this is very much like a cooking receipe. Physical actions cannot have a copyright.

The actual video / book can have a copyright. A video / dvd / book of magic can have a copyright just as any other book or film. The solutions of the tricks fall into the above and are not protected. The actual names of tricks or phrases can be protected and registered as trade marks.

A gimmick or device. These can be protected by patents. If you have something that is unique you can apply for a patent that protects the function of the design. The device or idea cannot be protected if it is determined as 'obvious'.


I bought a instant download...and people have asked for me to trade for other tricks they own.... I assume I am allowed to trade other videos for this trick?

Also I've seen people resell their old dvd's, books and tricks

What are the laws of reselling an old instant download video??
