WHY MAGICIANS HATE EACH OTHER

PhillyMag.com interviews Kalin & Jinger as they open a new show at the Trump Marina in Atlantic City.  Q: Why do magicians seem to hate each other so much? A: [Laughs for a while] Professional jealously, competition, plus it’s a very, very small world. There’s a saying in magic that 5 percent of the magicians do the thinking for the other 95 percent. There is a core group of people that really respect each other and are always forward-thinking. And then there’s a whole bunch of magicians out there that take whatever the 5 percent do, whether it’s the costuming or the script, and that’s where a lot of the inner strife comes in. There’s a lot of infighting. Eli Kerr will take over at the Magic Underground in Reno while they perform in Atlantic City. Here's Eli's promo video:
