To not like magic tricks?

Magic shows seem to be the new comedy shows (or have been for a while). I never feel amazed by magic, just irritable.

I particularly don't like street magicians as I never realise what they are until they've already come up and started doing their thing.

Perhaps I am particularly irritable today though.

You've probably never seen the magic of magic then. I have a friend who is a fantastic magician and it's mindblowing.

YANBU. They are intensely irritating, and give me the steely eye.

YANBU to dislike magic. Its a personal taste issue.

I love it. I never want to know how it is done and could watch all day every day. If you don't like it that's more for me Grin

Dont like it either. Utterly boring. Just not interested in how they do it. Although oddly find Penn and Teller quite engaging.

I get irrationally annoyed with magicians. No matter how good they are, all I can think of is that it's sleight of hand and 'conning' people. I know we're all meant to participate in the con, and I've tried, but I just get irritated.

No I don't like magic/ magicians either.My OH loves it,but then he likes science fiction,time travel and fantasy stuff too.Guess it's just different personality types.
I just like to know what's what ,annoying sort if person who needs an explanation for things.

I don't like it either. It annoys me that I can't work out how they did it and it annoys me even more that they are so secretive about something so trivial.

YANBU.
