In conversation with Paul Draper (One of the worlds leading mentalists) he often asks me about my power as a magician. He means to say that we as magicians as we select material should perform with a cohesive super power.
It would be weird if Batman could suddenly breath under water or if Spiderman could turn invisible all of a sudden.
The best magicians out there all have a cohesive character that lends well to a single power. I have my own ideas but what do you think the "Powers" of these and other famous magicians are?
-Ricky Jay
-Derren Brown
-David Copperfield
-Lance Burton
-Criss Angel
-David Blaine
-Matt Franco
-Penn and Teller
-Stephen Brundage
-Kieth Barry
What is your super power as a performer? How do you apply that power?
