Hey everyone,
I've recently been watching some people performing on various sites such as youtube, vimeo, and metacafe. After watching these performers, I've realised that magic is presented (more often than not) as kindof a hokey puzzle. I've never preferred this style of presentation (infact it kindov irritates me). I find that magic should be presented as somewhat of an ability, or supernatural power, and that the performer should be a bit "dark" in his style. Does anyone have any ideas or comments upon this style of presentation? Thankyou.
ps. If you've ever seen Criss Angels TV special in 2002 before he was famous, he sort of touched upon this idea of a dark presentation/performer, or course now he definately isnt.
