Using storytelling to not only effectively enhance effects, but also your show.?
As a performer, I generally prefer the methods of the tricks I choose to be simple, the plots clear, and the magic…well, magical. I use stories to draw the audience in. To find interest in not only the effect I am presenting but also in me.
