Criticism of "Magician" Pop

Hey everyone.

I've recently read that magicians don't have a good opinion of "magician" Antonio Díaz (aka Mago Pop). I haven't seen his show, but they say it's really good. Does he really use stooges and claim other magicians' effects as his own?

If he uses stooges, he's only fooling himself and devaluing the art of magic.

If he claims other magicians' effects as his own, he might fool lay audiences.

We can perform tricks we learn from courses, books, etc... What's the limit? Only what's published? Should we say, 'This trick is by [magician's name]'?

Best,
