This is an interesting case I just read about in the October 2012 Esquire. It raises numerous issues including, is a magic trick eligible for copyright? The Teller "trick" really verges on performance art and is pretty impressive. There is still a Youtube video of the Bakardy/Dogge version. Ino link because I don't want to encourage him) It is no where near as artful and I can see the argument that widely selling a cheap knock off would lead to dilution of the Teller original. I'm a big Penn & Teller fan so I have to admit I'm biased. This will be interesting to watch.
