I think they all elude me, I cannot flawlessly perform anything... I learned this recently teaching my daughter magic.
I seem to do well, but that's due more to learning to misdirect than skill.
Personally I'd love to do a double lift that a magician doesn't see, but for now I'll settle for the one the spectators don't see.
I kind of settled on "people like it" and have given up on "magicians like it". My loss.
This is an interesting topic on its own, regardless, there was this story told by Ben Earl on Discourse in Magic podcasts, where he mentions attending a magic lecture, and in the audience, there were two people in the back of the room watching the magician giving the lecture, who seemed to be magicians themselves. When the magician performed a DPS, both of them immediately went (excited) "Did you see that? That was incredible. That DPS..." -- "Yeah, can you do that?" -- "Oh no I can't, but what he did was so brilliant...".
Then a magician who came after that performed something else, which they didn't know how. When it was explained, both of them went (disappointed) "Ah, I missed it. Did you miss it too?"-- "Yeah, I missed it."
It seems that they think they missed the sleight by chance, that they blinked or weren't paying attention. The truth is that the second magician designed the effect in such a way, that it was
intended for them to ''miss'' it, and make the sleight truly invisible. In my opinion, the second magician has put in more effort and is better at sleight of hand too. Because they delved so deep into the sleight itself, they picked out every nut and bolt of the sleight to figure out where and when it's most vulnerable, when it's secure, which hand moves so as to arouse suspicion, which hand should move first, how to guide the eyes of the spectators and so on until they could design an effect which would make the sleight truly invisible.
The point is that magicians aren't always the best judges of sleight of hand (unless they realise this disconnect between hidden sleights and invisible sleights themselves). Therefore "magicians like it" shouldn't really be the absolute golden standard, even if you are looking for pure technical proficiency.
PS: Check out the entire podcast over at Discourse in Magic. Ben Earl has some fabulous thoughts on the sleight of hand.
