It takes forever and it is boring and it looks like your a 9 year old amateur All plots are as good as the performer is.

One of the respondents hated mathematical tricks but look at the work of Ramon Rioboo and he'll blow you away AND it's entertaining. Likewise palming, if an audience suspects it as a method we should abandon it, we should get better at it. Look at John Carney using the palm or the way it's utilised in Cards to Pocket - it's great and entertaining. Roy Walton has a great trick called Back in Time, the presentation kills but the majority of magicians will overlook it because the method appears simplistic.
