This Magic Moment...

For us the moment magic happens is when the move occurs. At that moment the magic is done. The hard part is over. Now we just have to turn over that card, reveal that coin, put out that fire, etc etc. However, for the audience they haven't seen any magic as of yet. Just some fancy moves, some personal juggling, maybe some snappy patter. (if they're lucky) Where is their magic moment? There are a lot of theories on sustaining that "magic moment". Some people think you have to stop the action to a crawl and say something incredibly stupid like, "And I cast a Shadow over the (insert object in question here)..". Not hardly. You should give them a magic moment. Something you do, be it snapping the fingers, wiggling the fingers, moving your body in a rock like motion, or other such silly stuff. That is when the magic happens for them.

You see it's like sex, (Which some of you may not know much about or might have to pay for it which means you can do what you want. It's yer money and yer anxious. I can appreciate that. Then there are those of you who have the internet and can type with one hand a little too well... but I digress.), you like to prolong that "magic moment" as it were, (If yer any kind of romantic person anyway. If yer paying for it, just forget I said any of this.), and it's always better when you kinda don't just go wham, bam, thank yah ma'am.

So magic is just like sex.. except I do magic waaaay more. Well maybe JUST not like sex. I don't need to take a shower after I find someone's card.. they might have to but.. no no I am losing my train of thought here. Basically, don't just throw their card down on the table after putting it in the deck and going "there". Ooh thank you Mr. Excitement!! Don't put a coin in yer hand and IMMEDIATELY open yer hand to show it's gone. Do a little foreplay. A little dinner, a little dancing. In the end when the magic happens, it's more powerful and fulfilling for both parties involved.

Magic and sex... what the hell was I thinking?

Bizzaro.
