I receive more and more emails from magicians worldwide complaining about "my" Color Change Waistcoat.
I ask the buyer to ensure that they are buying an original vest. Complaints range from gimmicks not working, to wrong size (I was presented with a Chinese copy and the vest comes just down to above my belly button!) to poor quality with buttons falling off and ugly fabrics. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do to compensate the buyer if the product is not original!
"Advertised with my original demo video under the item." THE WAY TO COMBAT THIS IS TO HAVE YOUR INSTRUCTIONS ON YOUR WEBSITE WITH LOGIN REQUIRED. Too late now, but for future invention. So sorry to see your creativity marginalized. DON'T GIVE UP.
In the world of magic, tricks and effects are very difficult to protect legally and, as a result, many unscrupulous dealers simply copy the creations of others without permission.
In an effort to help those who wish to buy ethically and support the original creators while avoiding the "new" versions of their effects, Magic Fakers was set up.
(If you are able to help us by leaving comments under the relevant tricks, we are also trying to add dates to establish when each trick was first released)

Thank you Tim for adding this to your site.
There is at least one dealer in Korea who offers the fake waistcoat, however it is advertised with my original demo video under the item.
The picture on the site shows an animated gif. picture of the vest in red, yellow, blue and green - I have NEVER used this colour combination.
I would heed buyers not to be misled by the demo video associated with this copy item.
