So, this post is inspired in part by this video (sorry, apparently I can't imbed a direct url) as well as the wonderful conversation that happened over on r/magic.
Now, I stand by what I said in the above discussion: by watching and practicing other forms of art and performance, it makes you a better magician. In the above video, the most obvious things that you can take away are the costuming, the staging (blocking, lighting, etc), and the music. If you take any of those things out, the video changes context drastically. Don't believe me? Try watching it here (mute the video on the right, the one with the performer).
