The problem with using comedy in your magic show The common thread of probably the most successful TV/Film celebrity magicians that had wild success because they made people believe what they did was real and not a magic trick. Comedy magicians are great but the reason why most comedy magicians don’t become as famous as these guys (in general) is because once they tell a joke, boom, audiences now put you in the silly magic trick box. So there’s a cost with doing comedy. As powerful as comedy is, there’s a downside. People stop taking you seriously. Before Hitchcock was Houdini, the master of suspense. He knew how to build suspense.  -JonS
