That's because it's AARON FISHER!! What did you expect?!?
Quoted for so much truth it's unreal. He's got to be one of the best teachers in magic at the moment.

Seriously, Aaron's gonna be remembered as one of the greats in magic. Right up there with Dai Vernon And Erdnase.
I don't think Erdnase is considered a magician but I get what your saying.
So... We buy magic DVD's for entertainment purposes now instead of actually learning what's on it?

Ah.
But here's the thing.
Would you rather have a Biology proffessor who told you ventricular systole is when the ventricles contract; or a proffessor who explained why it did so, in every detail, and who really wants you to learn.

But Erdnase is revered among magicians because of all the sleights he brought to the table. And yes, he was a magician most likely considering all the tricks in the back of his book.
But yeah, I get what you're saying. (Gosh! Aren't I grumpy today? )
Cheers!

No he wasn't. He most likely only put those card tricks in the book because the publisher told him that a book simply on card sleights wouldn't sell too well. And at the time of the book. It pretty much barely sold well at all. It wasn't tell decades after he died, that it became a staple in card magic. For the most part from what I read is that Erdnase was a card cheat and wasn't that great of a person and was wanted for murder.
I think it depends on the situation. I know a lot of the LL videos have performances in the studio with the same exact audience every time. Which is fine because I know that it would be silly to see Bill Malone or Daryl try to walk around and perform street magic. And as well that there things that not even the pro's can control. Like what happens if you are filming and the wind picks up and screws up the sound? Or if people keep saying no? Or if cars keep driving by and honking? These are things that can and will screw up the progress of a video.
I do agree that it is nice to see different performances and also hear or see the guy explain why and how this works and etc.
