Its all good. No offense taken. Not everyone will agree on the "right" way to perform, hell, Im always making adjustment to my performances based on feedback and audience's reactions/ interactions. Some effects work waaay better if they are done long, some, not so much. When it comes to streetmagic/ busking (my personal favorite form), I personally would advise people not to drag out effects, due to the fact that most people you stop on the street really only have a few minutes, if that, to spare. Of course I am not suggesting, "do the trick as quick as possible", rather, be aware of how much enfisis/ suspense your putting into a simple acr routine. (Too much would make the trick seem to drag on.) Now, when it comes to a stage show, where people generally pay to watch it, longer effects that build up the suspense ultimatly make the prestige alot more entertaining. But when it comes to the street, I (and my audiences [or so it seems]) would much rather have a trick but straight to the point, no bs, and damn entertaining (take Timeline 2.0, or Tricycle, for example.).
Agree 100%. Thats one of my favorite parts of performing (espically on the streets) because you get to meet so many different people, form different walks of life.
