Crediting With Intent in Magic

Crediting is taken very seriously in magic and practiced by most people who write and produce instructional material for magicians but sometimes it is not. Why and where is it appropriate and when can you ignore it? Also discussed is crediting when it comes to live shows, television performances and filmed performances broadcast over the internet.

Interesting discussion.

Interesting topic and I enjoyed hearing your perspective. I'm an amateur performing mainly for family and friends and I have enjoyed presenting things as an excited new student of the art. Part of that, for me, was crediting the folks I've learned from along the way, but not naming the tricks as such. For example I talk a lot about my new hero Dai Vernon, tell an anecdote about him (he fooled Houdini) and then show my take on what is likely his most famous trick which I miscall as "the bully". One potential negative to this style of presentation where you name your influences came when I was doing a set for my friend and her daughter and realized I had named about 10 dudes in a row.

I understand. Sometimes I don't mention an influence and feel bad and sometimes I feel like I have said too much. It all depends on the experience you are trying to create. In performance, less is usually better as too many names can be confusing I've found. Just focus on a few and tell one great story about them each.
