Comedy born of bewilderment is the only comedy that should be in magic.
Large action arrest small action.
In magic, today as always, the effect is what counts. The method or methods used are always purely secondary.
The mind is led on, step by step, to defeat its own logic.
Most magicians consider the palm an easy move to make. They are inclined to believe that they are 'getting away with it,' when they are in fact fortunate enough to have a polite audience.
Be natural and use your head.
