I agree with children, not appreciating it so much, but being a person who does more mentalism than magic, I disagree that it doesnt hit non-participants as hard. (but thats a whole other conversation, lets stick to the point )
I was wondering where you were going with this subject. In reality we are just tricksters, all of us. Displaying your magic as something more than trickery can be a dangerous game. (like using mentalism for psychics) Man,you are a awesome magician,dont let the art consume you tho. We are entertainers, and the magic we do is for entertainment, nothing more. (beside fun and money ) Let people draw thier own conclusion to your role based on your patter or style of tricks. Dont be bothered or held down by a "title". You are a magician,not a wizard These are just my opinions bro, just tryin to help you find your path...see ya One more update...Have you considered stage magic? It looks very magical, and alot of stage stuff doesnt look like sleight of hand....also you can develop a really cool character as your stage personality |

to me, anything that is "popular"( cards, ropes, coins...) will seem like a magic trick in front of people, if i HAVE to make "real" magic happen in front of people, i'd use sleights, but on things they weren't supposed to be used on, or simply a prepared gimmick( most of the time i don't have this... so... yeah).
There are 2 effects, card effects, that is just insane, as they will hit people, of ALL ages, hard if performed well, no matter what( well, at least, under normal circumstances). They are "Stigmata"( spectator take a card, put it back, they keep all the cards, i make the name of their card appear on my arm) and "Card to mouth"( one time use, and requires a bit of crowd control, but worth all the effort). i use them from time to time when i need a bit of attention to try out a new trick. i think you can use them Albert.
