I think that a site where people have to be accepted will also add competitivity and will the increase level of magic on the site.
But so would a community with standards.
I mean, you guys realize we can, whenever we want, improve our magic drastically? We can make it a million billion times better? You don't need a special admittance only community or anything like that - all you have to do is practice and think! The more you practice, the better you get. The more you think - and I know this sounds sort of obvious, but some people don't seem to get it -
the more thought goes into your magic. It gets more creative, more original, more interactive, more beautiful, more artistic, and more fun when you apply your imagination to the craft instead of mindlessly allowing other magicians to do that for you.
yeah i do actully i dont think performing magic should be experienced by millions all round the world its taking the magic out of it when everyone knows so much of the magic secrets and scince there capable of doing the trick and deff fooling most.and now were comin up with new slieghts that all these laymen now learn and watch criss angel now all of a sudden they too want to do magic indeed this is a art and a respected one by the artists who perform and are consistant and would actully become a professional magician for a living
You don't think magic performances should be experienced all around the world? Or are you saying you don't think there should be so many performers, or what, here? I think you're really embellishing exposure, the way the majority of magicians do. I don't think people even watch Mindfreak anymore, it's gone from flashy magic to just one big joke. Criss has jumped the shark on a motorcycle that explodes, and when it lands he's not on it anymore.
The notion that everyone is going to jump on the magic bandwagon is really silly, but, alas, I know a single person who fits this description! One person who got into magic. He performed for his family and friends, a very eager showman with sloppy sleights and little knowledge aside from Youtube tutorials. Guess how many shows he's had, or how many strangers he's performed magic for? Yep - not a one. The fact that you have to be good at magic to have a successful show (or even a show at all, for that matter) limits these bad magicians who don't respect the art and actually harm the careers of professional magicians. It just doesn't happen, and if it does by some rare accident, not on the scope you seem to envision.
That friend of mine got bored with magic after a few months and has never looked back. It would seem that the craft takes dedication, sacrifice, practice, and imagination - and bad magicians don't have these. Eventually, they'll realize that this actually takes effort and get turned off. And if that doesn't happen? Then they advance, slowly but surely.
