I was just thinking about Gimmicks and the one's that I use, and thinking there are many gimmicks that, with practice the same effect can be done without the gimmick. Such as a cheek-to-cheek deck which is a triumph deck, there are multiple methods for a clean in the hands triumph. I just wanted to hear some opinions on gimmicks. I try very hard to perform effects without using gimmicks, which has lead me to picking up books and spending many hours reading them. Do you guys prefer clean magic or gimmicks? I know that what I am saying is weird, and may not make much sense but gimmicks or no gimmicks? Use or stay away?
