Here's what i think. If you put a magician in front of a screen for a few years (a.k.a. television seasons,) chances are the magician will use camera tricks. I for one believe he uses camera tricks but VERY rarely. I would also like to note how i hate that magicians bash him so much because he uses stooges. I believe every magician at one point or another uses stooges. He's a magician, sometimes magician try to find an easy way out of stuff, and if you have a camera in front of you, you probably would too.

No, I can promise you I wouldn't be using camera trickery, and if I did I would present it as a video tape to an audience, not the same way as an actual live performance. Then it wouldn't be as bad, if the magician was acknowledging the fact that they either would not or could not perform the feat in front of a live audience. Thats the only fair way to do it as that is what we would actually have to do. We could only say here is something I pulled off this one time or something like that and show it on film. Doing a camera trick on television and presenting it as a live performance to the television audience is lying. But its best not to be doing camera trickery/editing to begin with.
