The flaming fork isn't the effect. The effect is to make their signed coin appear in a match box. I think he just used a flaming fork so he wouldn't burn his hands with the flash paper.

I don't think spectators care if a person calls themselves and artist or not. We are entertainers and the moment you go "I am an artist." it kind of takes the fun out of the whole thing for them. That's the last thing you want to do. You can make them realize it is an art in different ways...

Two words. Budget Constraints. It's easier to find whatever rock/metal/goth/rap song you want and then just record yourself performing for a cheap webcam. Because most kids/teenagers don't have digital video recorders or anything. I do agree that seeing them sit in front of a computer is pretty...

Most people here aren't going to find their personality and style till they've been performing for a good while.

Why should they prove anything to you? It's like not you're the authority on magic. If they want to be challenged then they will do that themselves. It's not up to one person to decide when it is right or wrong to cause everybody to think harder. If they enjoy things the way they are, then...
