Magician, actor or what?

I would say that it really goes on with how you define yourself and what others decide to 'label' you. If you are a street performer and people ask you what you are, you can say "I am a street performer." but the crowd is labeling you as a busking bum because of your mannerism and act. So, I guess if you took it to a deeper level, where acting was a presentation of persona, the "magician who is an actor that is roleplaying a magician" would be a true statement to the true example.

So I guess the best way to come up with a set answer would be to use ourselves as the examples.

:I am a student who has learned how to control the moment. How do I do it?
[and this is where the outside labels me. It doesnt matter what you say you are, its what people see that makes you an actor, wizard, juggler, entertainer, or [insert your name here]]

I agree with Mark and Tommy though.
