You are right Marcos, this is interesting and there is certainly no set answer. All art including magic, I believe, is simply one expressing themselves which in turn is open to interpretation. In some respects I can see how magicians are perceived to be actors since many professionals/street entertainers use patter. As we all know, patter is a written and rehearsed dialogue the magicians use each time they perform that particular trick, much like an actor memorizing their lines.
On the other hand, an experienced magician may feel a completely impromtu performance of something to be more appropriate for a certain situation, leading him away from his rehearsed patter and act in a more similar manner explained by Mark earlier. So yeah...it appears that sometimes we are sometimes not.
