Magic Forums

Do anyone of you find tricks to be insulting to the craft. When my small group gets together I throw creamer into the bonfire to make fire bursts and use alcohol soaked cotton balls as fireballs for dramatic effects. We also do magic tricks that we've learned then we sit and hold a bardic and then get to the real magic. I don't see it as a bad thing. I think it is a fun little thing to add to the element of real magick.
