Do we need more card tricks?

I expect you've seen the hoooooharrrrr that was caused on Genii forum when Pete Biro said "do we really need more card tricks" in response to a question about the new John Bannon book.

I think the bigger question is this:

Did we need another ring flight? Especially an overpriced model like this.

And did we have to have another linking key?

Maybe Pete Biro would be happier if people quit putting out new and original card magic and just stole other peoples routines and stuck them on a DVD called "In the Trenches by Paul Green".

Or maybe it would be better if someone with a hair cut like Ronald McDonald took a load of other peoples material and made some minor changes to some of it and then got L&L to record a four volume DVD set? They could call it "On the Loose". And to make the material look better they could get that monkey boy John pumped up on puff and coke so he leaps about and claps at the end of every trick (and often during them and in all the wrong places) and shove a token black guy in the audience whose amazed at everything no matter how bad it is? I bet there's some money in that.
