I think every trick you perform has its own presentation. Regardless whether you choose to perform it silently, with patter, saying story - this is your presentation. Cause it's what they see - also your voice, attitude, your look. Now, I think, before starting performing any trick, magicians should think on all of this bits, and think what will they achieve, and what impact they want to have on audience through these means. This if for me working on presentation of the trick.

"Art" is not a qualitive statement on the value of the performance, i.e. "if its good its art if its bad it isn't", that's not what art means, there is plenty of terrible art! and its not to say that an artistic performance is any more "worthy" than an unartistic one either. Presentation is reliant upon some form of narrative (not necessarily linear, nor necessarily coherant but never the less narrative) and all narrative's are contextualised culturally (even existantial narrative is based upon the cultural influences of the writer, where they grew up, what they find acceptable/accept without challenge). I think that if the magic world did ever succumb to the art world, it would be the day we as magicians would need to ask the question "what went wrong?"
