Is this how people really see kid performers?

The It's a Southern Thing You Tube channel posted this "comedy" video. As a kid's performer, it makes me wonder how really people see us.

Re: 346: Stan Allen is Not Mr. Nobody

Great podcast. I really enjoyed Stan's explanation of Magic Magazine's digital format strategy. Stan Allen, RK, Randy Pitchford, Kozmo and anyone else who publishes magic periodicals – my respect for what they do knows no bounds. It’s easy to take what they do for granted.
