ok mate, before i thoroughly explain myself, i wonder why you care why i laugh about certain things you said, is it #1, you care what i think of your statement? if so then seriously stop caring, what i think of that isnt your problem.
#2, u are curious why i find something totally hilarious while u dont realize the humor urself? if that is so , read on.
Humor has different types, as a magician it is rather important to have a good sense of humor and build in to the patters you use, as that greatly increase the reactions you are getting, for Cardist im not sure if that is such important element. "Proper alignment comes from being able to get your fingers to stretch in such an awkward fashion." this statement is a type of humor that start with naming an accomplishment then end with the punch that you have to do something totally out of the ordinary. It contains all the element a good punchline needs, the Target, Hostility, Realism, Exaggeration, Emotion and Suprize" Unfortunately i do not have the exact name for this type of humor as im not an expert comedian, how ever if you wish to look it up, i recommand the book, "comedy writing secrets".
An example of this type of humor is: "Im a guy who can drink coffee and alcohol at the same time, that explains my bad breach, limp dick, and why i wouldnt go to sleep." or "To sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger all you need to do is get a halloween mask and mouth full of candy."
