Hey guys,
I was just thinking about a interesting principle, that though small, I have heard alot of magicians talk about. I went a lecture by Will Houston. I asked what his favorite trick was and he said "Anything just as long as it has three phases" I thought wow he considers three phases to be really important. I also read in Michial Ammars book that he like three phases, and I have heard Jay Sankey mention it too. He calls it the rule of three.
So I was wondering what you guy's think of the "rule of three?" should a effect have three phases? one phase? six phases? Do you guy's think a effect is not very good if it only has one or two phases? Do you guys think three phases is too many and it starts to get confusing?
I was just curious of your thoughts. So comment away,
Thanks,
Christian
