永慶阿孝，用心有效

When it comes to magicians, people always stereotype them in three ways: seeing, believing, and guessing. Seeing is what the audience think magicians should be, and believing is whether the tricks are real or not. Finally, guessing is the logic that audience has. These three images make magicians really crazy. Also, it’s not accurate at all.

First of all, common people always associate magicians with card cheating, money, or doves. In other words, they always have a stereotyped impression of magicians. For example, when we watch a magician performing, we always anticipate that there a dove will appear. In addition, we have unrealistic expectations that magicians can fulfill our own desire such as help to make a fortune. If a magician can’t make a dove appear or double our bills, we will definitely regard him as a cheater or a non-professional magician. It is strange that you would never expect Picasso to draw a beautiful woman in his painting, but you do want a magician to produce a beautiful woman. That’s why many great magicians can’t survive because no one wants to watch a show without a dove and woman, nor matter whether it is good or bad. In this case, some of the best and most creative performance will never be seen. This not only means a loss in magicians but also a loss in spectators who really enjoy magic shows. Sooner or later, people will be tired of magicians’ doves and think that magic shows are always the same and boring. Eventually, they will never believe it because there’s no surprise.
