I decided to ask all of my classmates, and teachers, seniors and juniors the following:-
Imagine you go to a magic show where you know you will see the best magic in the world. Literally, THE best magic. However, YOU have a choice of what kind of magic you wanna see, between:
1) A super-visual but AMAZING trick, as in coins appearing and vanishing, cards changing places, and so on.
2) A longer trick with a BEAUTIFUL storyline that will most probably touch you in some way.
Either of them presented, will be the BEST one of its kind.
What do you choose?
***
Some responded with both, some with the second one, some with the first. So I guess my results state that it depends on the audience really, and on their way of thinking and looking at things, not necessarily their age or sex or community or whatever.
So now I ask you magicians, for an unbiased answer (although who are we kidding, all of us are biased in some way or the other XD) to this question:
Which magic is better for an up and coming magician today?
(where social media and real life, both play important roles).
