[quote] On 2012-03-16 13:19, Pop Haydn wrote: I think it is fine to use magic tricks as story-telling aids. But in that case, the magic is meant to serve the story--magic is used as a transitional device, or a thematic accent. This is fine, but it isn't magic as an art. It is story-telling. When magic is used in this way, the rules of good magic must be sublimated to the needs of the story--the rules of theater and story-telling apply, and the needs of the magic are only satisfied afterward. Here magic is only a kind of "special effect" and not an artform in itself--not "Our Magic." Putting a coat of paint on a car or house is "painting," but it isn't the Art of painting. [/quote]
