Magicians keep the secrets of magic very close to the vest. While it is true that a magician does not tell how a trick is done, that does not preclude them from teaching an aspiring magician how to do an effect.
That is the main distinction; we can’t tell you how it is done, but we can teach you how to do it. The difference is in the motivation of the recipient of the information.
Mike Skinner was a great teacher of magic and mentor to many who sought out his knowledge and expertise.
There is a great deal of wonderful video of Mike teaching the classics of magic available at better magic dealers everywhere. This is a piece of video from a private collection showing Michael in his home teaching magic to a friend.
