I think one of the problems with this discussion will be definition of terms.
What one person means by "Magic is all about entertainment" is often different from how the other person uses the phrase. Someone could tell me "magic is all about entertainment" and I could say "No, magic includes the ability to fool people." Another could say "magic is all about entertainment" and mean that technique/method doesn't matter. Yet another could say "magic is all about entertainment" and mean that it doesn't matter if you fool the audience. No sense arguing until there's a consensus on what the phrases mean. |

It would be nice for Cirrus to respond or counter the points made so far.
Practice tolerance or something like that, right? Not to change subjects since this thread is rather unproductive, my opinion, but I just received From Hell by Lebanon and O...M..G..! 5th Anniversary ver. Unbelievable... |

You could also say that entertainment as it pertains to magic is all about semantics. Lots of people have lots of interpretations of the same thing, arguing their points using the same terms but having different interpretations in mind. It's like they have a very personal and specific definition of what entertainment is, and then try to apply it across the board. So indeed they have conflicting ideas about magic and other performing arts in regards to entertainment.

I heard from a friend that anecdotal evidence is actually quite reliable. |
