Hey,
I noticed, that many people out of the young generatrion do not think about the entertainment value of a trick.
They are more intrested in moves and the 100th new flourish, this of course can be an advantage if they just practice it, but do not perform that stuff.
But if they would really perform this pieces, a laymen wouldn t care after the 20 colour change and flourish..they want to be entertaint.
Do u believe the spectator really sees a difference of all these flourishes?
I also noticed that moves are perfected from some guys, for example a classic erdnase change becomes more visual...thats a good thing, of course but sometimes even if moves look better, they become angle sensetive or unpractical.
I also try to make technically everything as perfect as I can, and I mean I do not care abot how diffucult a move is, I just try to find the best for the situation.
But somtimes I think technique, doesn t matter, it doesn t change the effect if I would use a ernase change instead of a cardini change.
Of course if the spectators would see both changes, and they have to compare both, they would they that the cardini change is more visual, but you know they don t have the possibility to compare me with anybody, so who cares.
The thing that counts is the effect, A CARD CHANGES.
Do you think that if something looks more visual, it elevates (makes it stronger) the effects?
And if it elevates the effect, do u think a stronger effect has more entertainment?
I do not see the magician as an men that does magic, but more an entertainer that uses magic to entertain.
Of course everything should be as perfect as it can (except for the guys that belive in the too perfect theory), but not just magicly, also the entertainment (the lines, the jokes, the patter) should be perfect, and if you have the choice between a fancy visual vanish of the four aces, but its angle sensetive and doesn t has a reset and no spectator involved.
And a slow clean vanish one by one with cool lines that might build up a conversation with the spectators, which variation would you choce?
I belive one fast visual Trick (effect) can entertain the audience, the magic speaks for its self, but if you just use these tricks, it would become boring very quickly.
Just some thoughts of mine, hope you become thinking and tell me your opinion..
And sorry for my Engllish, I hope you can understand everything.
