Tragic Magic

Magic has been so overdone in our culture, and people have been so overexposed to it; they never expect a major magic trick not to work. It is almost unimpressive to see a magic trick work anymore because one expects what happens.

For the sake of magic, so it can last, a new form of magic must become mainstream: Tragic Magic. In Tragic Magic not every trick works. Some tricks result in death, or some other tragedy.

The examples are fairly obvious. Assistants will really be sawed in half, volunteers will get severe paper cuts from trick cards, the rabbit in the hat will die of suffocation, wand related eye-pokings, and other tragic mishaps.

These unfortunate occurances will make magic tricks that end with success seem all-the-better and be very beneficial to the entire magic industry, and increase the enjoyment of magic for all unharmed people.
