So a couple weeks ago I was watching Craig ferguson on the tube he made a joke how it's going to take years to undo the damage db did to magic of course. It was a joke but it got me thinking did the change db made to magic with his no patter and just doing the trick do more harm then good to magic as far as magic presentation is concerned because all magician before db such as dc and Doug henning made their living with original ideas and presentations.
I'm not saying anything against db but ever since him close up magic has completely had a new face and all of us or 95% of people on these forums including myself have been influenced by db or ca my question is do you think it was for the better.
I personally beleive it has done wonders for the stereotype you know - cape, top hat, bunnies. I'm not too sure about the actual presentation though; that's why I'm asking you guys.
