Well someone made a point of that "I was explaining too much" and thereby making it less magical, and I think I must agree.

Example.........

Last night i sat down, switched the television on, and watched a show called restoration road show.

in this people take their broken antiques to be invisibly mended by experts, and then sold.
Interesting premise for a show.. BUT
after about 10 minutes, i turned it off. Why? Because every tiny detail was shown over, and over again.. worse yet, it was described over, and over, and over again in terms that a 3 year old would get.
This is awfull television. It Patronises the audience no end..

I dont need to be told that the man is gluing two pieces of broken china together 20 times, when i can see that's what he's doing once.

And it's the same with magic.
Over descriptive patter and presentations become irratating.

you dont need to describe every step of a journey.. you just say.. turn left at the trafic lights, right at the pub, left at the post office and your there.
