Are you a fan of magic shows?

 

 

 

I admit that I am not. It relies on deception to fool the audience, and I don't like to be deceived.

 

 

So, do you enjoy magic shows?

Not at all.

I like card tricks.

YUP!  I can't stand David Copperfield though.

 

A very good magic movie - The Illusionist.  An oldie but goodie.  The kind of movie you better not blink.  Rarely shown on tv. Smiley Sad

I find some magic/illusion interesting but ones with over-the-top drama (music, gestures, etc) really bug me.

I do too.  Sometimes I can even figure out how they are done.  My husband is good at directing my attention to the manipulation during the trick.

 I don't like magic at all. You know it's not real, there is a trick to it, I'm not in on the act. My father loved magic, the fact I hated magic, well he took it personally and was not at all happy about it!
