Gosh this drives me nuts....

I know we all hate those annoying youtube videos that are just kids horribly "performing" sleights in front of a webcam.

I will admit, I have used a webcam to video...This was for practicing purpose, demonstration purposes, and the videos weren't all pixelated, and I didn't butcher the sleights.

There is one thing though that drives me up the walls more than anything... When they are doing a trick whether for the camera or for a spectator, they are clearly handling the cards horribly, and after the effect, you see this across the entire screen:

WTF??!?!?!!!?!!?!?!!!?!

I'm not sure about you guys, but this irritates me more than any other video.

I'm finished venting LOL

Lol. I think we were all like this. Wether it was on YouTube, a live performance etc. I remember before I had a magic tutor, I had horrible handling etc. YET! I kept on performing for people! But yes, I agree, someone should help them.

Yeah, we were all horrible at some point, but don't put it on camera ya know?

In real performance you can misdirect/cover for it etc, but a video is just like someone burning your hands.

Why do you watch the videos in the first place?

Want to know how to make all the YouTube magicians go away? Stop paying attention to them.

Good Magic is like good sex; it's just harder to find

Live by these words and you will be wise, otherwise you will find yourself frustrated by those that refuse to practice and actually learn... sadly, they tend to outnumber those that choose otherwise.
