I hate to mention (because it has been overworked) the "too perfect theory" that many magicians subscribe to in order to make what looks like mistakes turn into miracles. While surprising and often funny to an audience -- a perfect climax leaves out the connection with the audience's own fallibility.

Direct revelation smacks of "instant magic" as opposed to the human process of cmmunication between two minds --- particulary if developed by scholars as a test of POTENTIAL esp powers the audience member may display in transmitting thought to you.

Chmara:

While I completely agree with you with regard to the second statement I quoted from your post, I strongly suspect that you do not understand the meaning of "The Too Perfect Theory."

The reactions I get from using B.I.P. 2.0 are off the scale. After every performance in which I use it, I have to disuade onlookers after my set from believing that I am actually reading minds. It amazes me that some experienced performers get no more than mediocre reactions from this.
