A few weeks ago in my food science class we had a substitute teacher and my good friend mr.pitts who sort of takes care of all the ISS kids and stuff walks and we start a conversation about magic.
He's always interested in the history of it and enjoys hearing about Dedi and Houdin.Now
the sub gets interested in the conversation and Mr.pitts tells him that I do magic.
And the sub asks a question that I just realized I hear alot these days.
He asks "is it real magic or fake magic?" and mr.pitts says "well what do you mean?"
"I mean is it like david blaine stuff or just little tricks?"
Mr.pitts then tells him about an trick I did (angle zero) and where I pushed the piece into a "sealed" water bottle.
And then the sub just starts kinda awing same old same old.
This got me thinking..what do spectators mean when they ask if its real magic or fake magic?Or what do they expect it to be?What do you say when/if they ask you that?
In the subs case to him 'real' magic was what David Blaine did.
But,I cleared up with him that the things I do are illusions and he said "oh yeah,i know now.I just hoped it wasnt just some little tricks"
But this isnt the case with everyone that asks if its real magic or fake magic.
So again I ask..
what do ya'll think spectators mean when they ask if its real magic or fake magic?Or what do they expect it to be?What do you say when/if they ask you that?
