Hi Kipp,
I like your " fine wine" reference. I agree that effects need to be perfected before presented. This really is a problem with YouTube Copperfield wanna bees these days. I think that it might be easier to show off a poorly rehearsed effect on youtube than it would be to a live audience because the audience or at least their less than enthusiastic response would set you straight mighty quick. LOL
On You Tube all your friends will vote 5 stars and say how good it is to protect your feelings from reality. Nothing like a live audience to tell you if you need more rehearsal or not. LOL
Thats why I mentioned the Zimmerman hoops. I had the technique nailed but not the presentation. It laid an egg every time. After some presentation work it now gets a great response.
Best,
Tim
