I am writing a critical review on a performance, it has to be 750 words, however, I am unsure what makes a 'good critical review'. I thought this would be useful place to ask, as we are all performers and we must all review performances all the time. The problem with the performance I...

I see a lot of magicians perform magic with no magical gesture, and to me this is a bad performance instantly. - Even if you use a click of the fingers, wave a shadow over something, or make the audience member squeeze something... This instantly gives character and a reason for magic to happen...
