Watered down for who? The audience never knows.
When you perform magic on TV, the audience present during filming is NOT the audience you're appealing to. If you had the chance to use stooges, why wouldn't you?
Stooges are just like any other tool in magic- and the only magicians that argue against them are those that don't know how to use them.
There's no camera tricks at all. I know exactly how he's doing it, and he flashed the vanishing envelope. However I also know what I'm looking for too so I may be at an advantage.
I'm not going to expose his method, that would be wrong. But I will say there's a reason for why he's wearing that jacket, and it's not for style.
Watch it again.
This guy is VERY good. I'll give him props on skill. This is a very nice street routine.
I love that prestige quote, but I think it's more in favour of my argument than yours.
Imagine you're walking along the street and you see a street magician
In scenario 1, he asks a random person to pick a card, and then he reveals it inside his shoe. Amazing.
In scenario 2, he asks 3 different people to THINK of 3 different cards, and reveals 1 card in his shoe- amazingly, not only have al the spectators thought of the same card, but it is also the card in his shoe.
Now the effect in the second scenario is more impressive BY FAR, yet the method is just to have 3 stooges. Yet you as the bystander watching the show don't realize that- which do you think would affect you more strongly, the first or the second? Which do you think is the better EFFECT?
With stooges you can do magic that no sleight of hand can ever do- and I'm not saying that stooges are always a better approach than sleight of hand, but in some situations, they absolutely are, and we as magicians would be fool to reject that option.
