Why not Real Magicians as Stage Magicians? Either hiding they are real
magicians or applying stage magic towards real magic ... why take that
heavy drain from casting that spell that does what you want to do when
you can combine mundane resources with magic so much more effectively?
Can you imagine Houdini as a real magician? He'd flay you alive not so
much from powerful spells but from using spells effectively ... like a
surgeon and his scalpel ... :)
