Much Thanks Carded
Really it's more personality than anything. I swear I embody the Pulp Fiction quote
"Personality goes a long way"
some slights are challenging but most things are fairly easy
and really the magic is in the audience, without an audience there is no magic
Just a guy doing goofy stuff
Think about a comedian telling jokes in the mirror. Where's the funny?
It really is all about the audience
That's why I get such a big laugh out of performers going on about how great they are or how tough their work is (especially guys who hang out in magic shops spouting bull and only really perform for their magic club or their family)
It's not shit until it goes over with a crowd
When you get the wow's (how did you do that - which is usually a compliment in disguise), people have fun and enjoy themselves. When someone is transformed or taken away from the things that grind their ass on a daily basis, when a disabled child smiles a grin big enough to split their head .....
.... that's where the magic is
