When I watch card manipulations like McBride's I can appreciate its Juggling aspects much more. Let's reclassify and get this off magic websites..Stijn Hommeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18427641742234977801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614376202473604721.post-82341221123618596552009-11-14T14:02:55.059-08:002009-11-14T14:02:55.059-08:00I agree with you.

In fact, I would classify it as juggling just like diablo or contact juggling or many other things. But it's not magic. Personally, I think it takes away from the impact of magic when too much fancy manipulation is used. Sometimes you want to hide your skill. Other times you want to show you do have skill (say in a poker-themed demonstration). But too flashy just shows you can juggle, which is a good demonstration in and of itself, but not magical.LDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946988358632517612noreply@blogger.com
