The least talented magicians are the ones that do comedy.
Oh, I am going to have so much fun with this.
Does Michael Jordan have to tell jokes while shooting baskets,does tiger woods have to put together a one hour show hitting golf balls on a spectators mouth while cracking jokes from a stupid joke book to entertain the audience.
Apples and oranges.
But still I bet some peoplewould rather see a guy performing the old toy raccoon routine or a classic comedic sponge and balls rather than
some guy like me performing all sorts of
sleights that took me months of practice rather than a day and it would fly
right under their noses.
Of course they would. Because the other guy would be entertaining instead of masturbating all over the audience's faces.
because it is the easiest form of magic,it takes no skill only to memorize a script and buy some props and gags.
To quote Yahtzee, you're projecting so hard you coudl point yourself at a wall and show PowerPoint presentations.
These clowns ruin the way a magician is thought of,
By who? You? Who are you?
but its ok because they don't know any better. If
It's at this point that I begin to wonder if this is actually satirical. But I'm going to continue going along with the act because I'm enjoying it.
Magic is not about telling jokes and making people laugh,is performing.
You don't get to decide that.
The Magic is not that impressive
or hard to execute
Technical proficiency has no causal link to enjoyability for an audience. It's why Steve Vai is a guitar virtuoso, but more people think Johnny Cash was one of the greatest musicians to ever walk the planet.
I would Rather Let my magic speak for itself
People who say that are incapable of speaking for themselves.
I dont think magic should be justified by Jokes
No one said they were. You're projecting again.
memorize some jokes get some cheap laughs and while doing so a crappy trick
Once again, I'm inclined to believe this is all one big joke and you're just satirizing egomaniacal show-offs.
But I'll continue to play along. It's been entertaining so far. I want to see how far this goes.
David Blaine
his presentations are so AMAZING
Theres no MouthGarbage
The Magic Is enough
The magic doesn't do a d*mn thing. David is the one selling it. He has an aura of intensity and detachment that gives him an otherworldly presence that people find alluring. He's untouchable, and everyone wants to chase that.
What we really want in magic is people to watch the Magic.
I would prefer they just plain have a good time.
No, it's a common belief of egomaniacs and people who talk in the third person. On that note, I'm changing my first name to The. From now on, I want you all to refer to me as The Steerpike, or simply El Conquistador.
Why is Comedy magic So popular
Because is highly entertaining you say.
No
because its the easiest form of magic out there
So... it's popular because audiences like laziness? What?!
You don't need to work hard at anything
Try doing stand-up sometime. If you can make it through a 15-minute set at The Improv without wetting your pants, I'll be very impressed.
If Only there where more magicians like Tudor out there
The Steerpike believes we have enough narcissists in magic as it is.
Wouldn't you rather have people appreciate the effect
instead of minimizing it or having to justify it with MouthGarbage
I pick option C: they like me.
To state for a third and final time, there is a part of me that really believes that you're putting on an act, and a very slick one at that. But the joke is going to get very old, very soon. If you want to drop the punchline, the time is coming quickly.
