Like confrontational juggling

19/11/2017

I adore the lampooning that magic gets here, in the animated series Big Mouth ep 1.

Boy in middle: ‘Do you mind? I’m doing a magic trick!’
 
Girl on left: ‘I love magic. It’s like juggling but it’s definitely more confrontational, that’s for sure.’
 
Girl on right: ‘Yeah it’s like one person playing cards at you.’
Picture
It highlights what should always be obvious: that performance can be seen a veiled aggression, a means of selfishly asserting oneself, commanding the attention in the room.
Next time I hear or read about 'commanding your audience' I'll think of this lovely send-up.
Magicians be warned: know your place.
