card manipulation -- too much proving???

although card manipulations can look pretty if done properly, but the very nature of the manipulations make them a non-magical effect and more like jugglery. perhaps to a first time viewer it might appear like a very very perplexing puzzle but any ``experienced" audience would probably pass these on as mere digital dexterity and juggling and not magic. i think the amazement factor is lost upon the audience and upon that very loss the magical nature goes too.

you will be surprized to know how much the lay public knows.... and it is wrong and stupid for us to assume that they are naive or stupid.... they are not.
