d+M is a great magician and creator to me, but only a good creator to most. Many, many people say that he sounds like a bad David Blaine impersonator or something like that. I came on here to say that I disagree in several, several ways.
d+M currently holds the record for best set of DVDs I own. They are entertaining, fun to watch, and very informative. I use more tricks off that DVD than any other I have. When I first got it a few months ago, I had low, low expectations. Everyone said that his presentation made this set super-boring and not very good.
I disagree. David Blaine, Daniel Madison, Dan White, Garrett Thomas and all of them have really good presentations. Let me explain. They all have clear cut characters. Daniel Madison is very charismatic and has an awesome accent. If your presentation is not a funny and silly type like Jay Sankey or David Regal or Greg Wilson, don't force it. If you force it, you will end up worse then before.
I find it contradictory how people say everyone should do magic, but then shun and diss the people who are good at it for not bieng hillarious and silly. I happened to find Daniel Madison's presentation more entertaining then a lot of the "funny" people out there.
Seriously, people, think about it before you diss people that at least have a presentation. In people like d+M, David Blaine and Dan White's case, they get dissed for not bieng funny or energetic. If they did try, they would get dissed for bieng posers. They can never win. Just something for you guys to think about. End Rant.
