Pictures vs Line Drawings

My personal opinion is that drawings should be used for technicle manuels and not magic advertisments. They are appropriate for inexpensive items but not good quality magic. When I see most drawings I don’t know what I am buying, quality wise I would never buy a briefcase from a store just by a drawing alone. Imagine, You enter the office supply store, go to the isle that has calendars and briefcases, look at drawings of briefcases, pick one out, go to the register and pay for it then it’s sent in the mail. Would you buy a pair of shoes through the mail using a drawing? Sounds silly but every day magicians buy expensive items from dealers based on drawings. We don’t believe in drawings for items over $20.00 or for something other then playing cards or a common item where it’s expected that you know the quality.
