{"product_id":"commercial-magic-of-jc-wagner","title":"Commercial Magic of JC Wagner","description":"What's the difference between a professional and amateur magician? You may be tempted to say it's a difference of skill level, but that's not always the case. Amateur comes from the French for \"lover of.\" It's meant to denote someone who is passionate about their art, regardless of where their paycheck comes from. But to a professional magician, the stakes are a little higher. If they're going to perform something, they need to make sure it's dazzling enough to ensure that they can make rent that month. And for amateurs, knowing that the trick they're performing has been tested in gig after gig means that it will surely amaze their friends and family. That's why, for amateurs and pros alike, we cannot recommend anything higher than \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Commercial Magic of J.C.
