All you have to know is how to do it. I have said that and people always look disappointed on hearing that. Talking to people afterwards is still part of the show, and you're still playing the part, so to speak. But they're not dumb, they can see it takes years of work to be good at a magic performance. Oh wow, those are some good points. I wasn't thinking at all about character.

Now they know it's not a slam dunk and I'm committed, or should be.
