I believe that art is the way that we communicate with each other. The way that we say, this is me, I was here. If you're just doing magic tricks 'out the box' with the same simple presentation of everyone else - 'Here shuffle these invisible cards, oh take them out of the box first!' then you're like a karaoke singer, instead of an original.
If you're creating, ideas, presentations, methods, performances, then you're an artist.
If you're creating the experience of magic for a lay audience, then you're a magician, too!
