after reading this? Perhaps the primary
issue is that as you structure a trick and
attempt to produce something truly amazing,
you realize that it must be something that is
believably amazing. I suspect that as you
study all of this you will have more respect
for the old classics and old methods.
They tend to have a high level of believable
impossibility built into them. The other item
that may have new importance is the care
with which the audience should be provided
a chance to track what is being performed.
An attempt to do grand surprising things
might go flat if the audience is not given the
tools to realize that something significant
happened. Overall, this article can
provide a measurement of the success of
magic. I, personally, take up each
category presented in the beginning of this
article and rate the effects I dream up.
This enables me to focus my attention
where it will do the most good.
