A seasoned perfomer will create a logical disconnect in the audience, a temporary suspension of disbelief, through his presentation and bearing.

The audience WANTS to see the impossible. They just won't buy it from a young child. While there are child stars in acting, music, etc., how many child stars of Magic are there?

How many stars of magic, period, are there? I can count on one hand the number of magicians famous enough to have become household names: Houdini, Doug Henning, David Copperfield, David Blaine...

Look at that. I still have a finger left to spare. I guess I can count Kreskin then, even though he's not a "magician," per se.

I'd say a superstar child magician could be the Next Big Thing--in magic and entertainment in general. Smile

Way to screw up the quote function, eh? Mods? Can you help me fix the above post? (And edit out this one)...

Well my opinion after reading through many threads in this forum is that Entity comes across as arrogant and condescending. He may be a nice guy in real life, but it sure doesn't show here. Offering opinions based on experience is one thing-- belittling others for disagreeing is another.

I also think that a child who can pull off a levitation with a straight face is much more impressive than an adult. We've all seen movies where kids have supernatural powers, so it's not that hard to suspend our disbelief.

If the child and the audience enjoy the experience, that's all that matters.
