woa...this topic has gone way of subject....
going back on the main subject of celebabracadabra, here is my opinion
celebracadabra is a good show?
no, its terrible. But I wasnt expecting anything better.
this show is improving magic?
no, i have no reason to beleive it is as of now.
this show is destroying our artform?
no, it is not damaging the artform, however it may be hurting a particular magicians peforming style, but i think that it is good, there are many naive people who are willing to beleive fake psychics, fake sorcerers .etc these con artists dont do this for entertainment, they do it to scam. magicians nowadays should not tell people they are true sorcerors, there is a danger in doing this because some people nowadays are still very naive.
When i peform i lead my spectators on to beleive i have powers and when i get to the peek of my peformance when they really start to beleive iam a mystic sorceror i simply tell them, this is a lie and that iam a fake, and i finish my peformance talking about con artists, and warning them about the danger of falling into one of these cons. This way theyre not only impressed by the magic but they leave my show having learnt not to beleive all these fake psychics and con artists no matter how real it looks.
what Iam saying is that if celebracadabra is ruining your peformance then you might want to rethink the way you peform.
