Snugglesnort,

Being new to clowning and lacking experience as a magician, I may be wrong, but I think the better magicians use a trick much the same way a clown uses a prop. They are telling a story and getting the audience involved in the story which allows him to distract their attention away from the trick long enough to perform some magic. If you only knew one trick, but had two stories, you would be better off than the magician who knew two tricks but used the same stories.
