The other day I was watching television. I happened upon "Wild Wild West". For their guest star they had Don Rinkles. He played the villain magician. Lots of camera tricks no real magic. No card tricks, mostly Don popping in and out dressed in his tux and cape plus, evil laugh and mustache. Why is it the Magician always evil ? (except Mandrake and Bill Bixby )
Also there is a commercial set in a magic shop. Cute, as the magician keeps making things disappear, the partners desk, laptop again. Must buy new laptop, desk, etc. Next time partner turns magician into llama before he has a chance to prestidigitate.
There is another commercial where the magician slides his hand over the card and it changes, then a bite out of a pear is healed ...HP Computers.
Krystals the franchise has a commercial: "don't hire a magician buy their product". This sort of suggests that you do not need entertainment for your event. Let us hope that does not catch on. We contacted the home office and let them know our opinions. Result: one free meal gift card and the commercial seemed to go away. Like a scene out of the movie "Summer School".
Write to the right people and let your opinion be known. Try to change things with a suggestion how they can be fixed.
