The problem with stage magic is that it looks really good, but everyone knows there's a trick box.

Penn and Teller love the very intellectual side of magic. Me, I'm more fun than them. They never look like they're having fun. They look angry.
All types of magic performance have a purpose. Even if it's an amateur who's trying out slight of hand on YouTube.
Don't spend money on extravagant things like cars and big vacations. Spend it on things that are really fun.
