mmmm... I just love a bit of crad magic!

Magic is constantly changing and evolving but some of the old classic parts of it don't go away simply because they work so well. I think there will always be a place for stage magic, and close-up magic, and now youtube magic. The main reason we are seeing so many magicians only performing on camera is down to the fact that it's only in the last few years become possible, thanks to youtube. But I don't think that this is taking magic in a different direction, as such; it's actually just a brand new branch to the tree; a new, much more accessible stage on which magicians can perform. It comes with its many negatives and plus points. It is another possible direction individual magicians can choose, yes, but I don't think that this choice will lead to it being the only way, or becoming a threat to the more classical ways that magic has been presented over the years.
