RE: Andre Kole Responds to the Magical Thievery of a Dr. Alex and how it affect us all.
TO: Walter Blaney, and other highly esteemed practitioners of the art of magic.
Gentlemen (and others who are not so!):
Years ago when I brought my lawsuit against the FOX Broadcasting Company in my attempt to curtail the on-going exposure of magic by the Masked Magician, it was not because I was personally being severely harmed; rather it was because I considered it to be a blight against the entire magical profession.

This statement suggests that Dr. Alex may have used, without authorization, many other illusions belonging to leading inventors of magic in our community.
