Well, when people say I do magic tricks...it has a weird ring to it.
Even though I know that 'magic tricks' have come out a LONG way from the rabbit-stuff, I guess it is just the social image that pops in my mind when I hear 'magic tricks' of a typical magician pulling an endless stream of silk handkerchiefs from his pocket (thank you society for drilling that impression in my mind).
But yet I refer myself as a magician and am seeing increasing number of people resorting to titles like 'illusionist' etc even though they are just magicians.
So what do you guys call yourselves?
And what is that you do?
Do you perform magic tricks, or magic, or illusions or effects?
And is it something wrong to have that typical image of a magician when I hear the word magic tricks? Is it just me?
Finally...to what degree does it influence the impact of your performance when you change into a different title (like the one specified) and call your tricks illusions or something instead of magic tricks ( illusions or mental effects, those sort of words. I don't include calling them experiments or just effects).
