Funny you say this Jay. This morning I went to a cafe to practice and some women asked me about the cards and ended up doing magic including sponge balls and exactly as you say I’m putting things in strangers hands and neither of us are thinking anything strange of it. It’s just magic flowing through us all. A fun innocence to it.

Funny, I went to a Harry Potter themed cafe while on vacation in Poland last month. I told the cashier that I practice close up magic and asked if I could show her some magic. She looked at me like, “I guess weirdo.” Then I did a handwashing and coin production as tip (the coin was worth about $1.25 US). Suddenly, she was totally into it. Then I asked if I could show more and did a linking rubber band routine. She told me after that it was the best part of her day. Magic is definitely special and a great excuse to interact with people. Cool video topic.

Magic is uniquely selfless and honest in that way. If a performer comes up and offers to sing for you or paint your picture, you are kind of obligated to give them attention and praise. Awkward. With magic, the audience is allowed (even expected) to be skeptical and the performer is inherently obligated to overcome that. If they perform well and deliver a magical experience, you'll know it and they'll know it. No faking polite praise is required.
