The Rules
I find certain rules absolutely immutable:
There ARE bad tricks
A good magician can make a bad trick less crappy – he can’t make it good
Without surprise there is NO magic
Most magicians are better off without the story trick or emotional hook
Any trick that leaves the spectator with only 1 solution (and it is usually the right solution) is a bad trick
A layman is something more than someone who drools on our cards and is barely potty trained
The magician in trouble theme seldom plays well
Take care………
