How to conveniently interpret a routine

A place where beginners can participate, ask questions, and post their views. However, beginners typically ask a lot of questions about sources, tricks, books, and so on. In fact, all magicians are interested (or should be) in the provenance of tricks, ideas, and related matters. This department will service these needs.

I looked at this, and it was in the form of a flow chart syncing each secret move with what the magician is apparently doing in the eyes of the spectator. It seemed like it could be a useful tool. But i most enjoyed reading the various creative routines, and the author's approach to presentation, what goes into making comedy work, and the psychological aspects of magic. Very thought-stimulating ,and IMO, of practical value for a performing magician.
