Every thing that is about to be said is only my opinion and I could be wrong. All though that’s never happened before. (ok that may not be completely true, but its my lie so let me tell it how I want!
First things first. I was thinking the other day about some of my favorite movies. And how so many of them are so far fetched its all most funny. But when I watch them, I always get caught up in the story I never care about how it would be impossible for Michael J. Fox to travel back in time with a flux capacitator…… Never mind that for now.
But the point is we are always trying to find a completely plausible reason for what ever we do in magic. Why dont we just tell great stories and entertain people. Instead of bashing them over the head with things that might actually sound true, but are completely boring for most people.
All I’m saying is people like to disconnect from reality when ever they get a chance. Why not give them a great story or some crazy reason the card keeps coming to the top. What if the card had a mind of its own and wont let you go to the next trick and it keeps popping up every where. Or maybe you had a dream about a card they were going to choose and then no matter how hard you tried to get them to choose another card, the dreamt of card keeps coming back to the top to be chosen.
What do you think?
Why cant we present our magic like little movies, some are like bio’s and stick to the truth, some are like comedies and keep people rolling with laughter, some are like great action flicks that just keep the explosions going off every two seconds, but some are like fantasy novels that ask people to be children again and to use their imagination and get away from real life for a few moments.
