Have we done magicians yet specifically “close up magic” guys that do corporate dinners or weddings? Those wankers.
The “magic” is bad enough. I am supposed to be amazed that you have done something and I don’t necessarily understand how it was done. We live in a world where most things are done through processes the average person has no understanding of. We just accept it.
We don’t get amazed by search engines or medicines or heat pumps. Why should we be entertained by a guy pretending to rip up a playing card only for it to appear later?
But really it’s the patter, the weird “I failed at standup but I still have some gags” crap.
