Implicit or Explicit?Which style of magic do you prefer? Do you prefer an implicit style (with the magic moment simply implied) or an explicit style (visual, in-your-face magic moments)?
To be completely honest, I'm really into the implicit style. don't get me wrong, I DO perform a fair bit of explicit magic, but I feel the implicit style leaves much more to the spectator's imagination and leaves some effects fairly open ended... leave it up to the spectators to decide how the effect happened. To me, explicit magic is fine and all, but whenever I perform certain effects under this category, I feel like Criss Angel and it makes me feel dirty. Some explicit magic, I have no problem with.
But the problem with a fair bit of explicit magic is that the illusion just doesn't look how it should... this of course does not count for every effect, as there are some beautifully realistic explicit effects out there, but I find a lot of the stuff I've looked into just doesn't look as it really would in real life. Implicit magic, to me, creates mystery. A lot of explicit magic can point toward trickery. Then again, these are just my own simple feelings, feel free to completely diagree and even argue my points

I've had numerous discussions about this topic, which have led to some very interesting thoughts. But none that I would like to post here. If I meet anyone in the real world, feel free to bring it up.
