Sum up what today's magic industry seems like to you.. in 3 words

My three words are:

Potato: I love potatoes.
Potato: speaks for itself.
Potato: Nothing to add.

Well, actually i wouldn't be able to describe it in three words, the first word that comes to my mind when i think about magic industries, atleast on the web, is "fashion", i believe that those trailers of effects with smoke, special effects, shadows, cuts, and all that stuff, is to show that with magic you'd be cool, and imo, thats the main reason for there to be so many "magicians" that just use the tittle to get more friends and stuff, just like when we talked about it in the "Magic as a social tool" thread, they show it to you awesomly, and you go buy it because you think you will look like in the trailer video.

That being said (i love saying that) i believe internet industry for magic has a great potential, but right now, i don't personally like it, because 95% percent of it is pure crap, and that's bad, because generally, only 90% percent of the stuff in everything is crap.
