The past couple of months I have really been making magic the focal point of my life, I have been making major improvements and working hard at my presentation, patter, persona, and sleight of hand. However, I am still at a point where I do not have a real identity as a magician. My style and type of magic is still very open to change, and does so all the time. With all the work I have been putting in however, it is becoming more and more necessary to define myself as a magician. The question I put forth is; what path should I pursue, elegance, or sloppiness?
To clarify, I am curios as to whether I should attempt to make my magic effortless, and therefore appear sleightless. Or, should I attempt to make my magic sloppy, and therefore sleightless. There are so many good magicians that have taken each path, so I don't believe that either holds merit over the other. Simply judging from videos and comments I have posted, which do you think would be better for me?
Also, any and all advantages and disadvantages you guys can think of for either path would be lovely. It would really help with my decision .
Thanks a lot guys!
