David Copperfield. Not the book, the "magician".

I started thinking about some of the differences that magic (in general) would foster upon it's inception and eventual integration into society. People like David Copperfield or Harry Blackstone (the sleight of hand artists) wouldn't really have a place in the limelight any longer. Why watch a special on how a known mundane could trick you into believing that the Space Needle has disappeared when the audience knows that true magic exists in the world? Would being able to tell which card the audience member drew out of the deck still be something that boggled the mind? I think not.

Do primetime magic shows even exist in the future?
