That's a fair assessment Medifro, thanks for both the criticism and support.
Richman: I would do neither, so the point is null. Technically however, if you were to force me to choose one, I would choose what I see as the more graceful and elegant motion of rubbing - and believe me I do not say this just to spite you or disprove you, I honestly prefer that motion. I much prefer the wave over the stereotypical Genie-esque click. As though clicking one's fingers in a magic routine did anything. However even this is beside the point. In a year, the majority of magicians who have learned G.O.A.T will have done so to be cool, because it's the "in" thing to do, just like Clipshift. They may not admit it or say so or think so but it will be true. Barely any will say "because if I could do real magic, I would click my fingers instead of shaking/rubbing/waving/ordering the card." Again, the issue, my issue, is in the attitude. What the audience see is the change, that is what they will remember. Not one could tell you whether you clicked or waved, and not one would tell you it made any difference. And in my opinion both changes are just as visual. The only difference is the reason magicians want to learn G.O.A.T over Erdnase, which is the wrong type of reason.
