I just wanted to see if we could fairly establish why many mature magicians (not the media brainwashed ones that is) generally have a distaste for Blaine and both his character and magic performances.
Now i am not passing a judgement i deem to be the general consensus, i have just noticed that in the general opinions of all serious magicians Blaine is a media icon and over hyped showman.
Yes, he may have a very bleak and tastless attitude/persona, and he may do pointless endurance stunts but is he really that bad?
I personally think that he is very passionate about what he does, but he is just misunderstood in his purpose. His subdued attitude suits him pretty well in my opinion. I think that several of his endurance stunts are pretty remarkable even though they are not 'magic' as such. His magic may be pretty under performed and rather media magnified but overall, he does a pretty good job don't you think?
I want to see what judgement we can arrive at regarding his magic ability, his personality and how deserving he is of his fame.
Discuss.
