Hey guys,
I have a friend whos also into magic and what not, but he isn't actually a good one.
You can call him a magician, but hes more of a performer.
He does horrible sleights and usually messed up a lot, but hes a great entertainer. Everyone has a great time around him. He messed up a trick, but he makes everyone laugh while doing so. They laugh with him rather than at him. He tries to do a sleight. But he does it wrong. He says he has done so and turns it into a joke, which makes everyone happy.
I was wondering what you guys think of him.
He is on the border of exposure but majority of you guys who "know" magic say that the job of a magician is to entertain the audience. Is this actually acceptable in the world of magic?
