I do, as well. The newer acts are too flashy, with obnoxious music. The older magicians have a sense of calmness about them that induces in me a hypnotic effect. I just get agitated when I watch newer illusionists.
He may be rolling in his grave if he gets to see what a load of crap his successors have made the art into.. Tv magic hs been ruined by the likes of david blaine, criss angel and dynamo... Sigh!
