We Need You to Help Answer a Question

Which of these two things do you think wold be more likely to get a kid interested in magic:

1) a magician with really powerful and positive stage presence, well crafted script with dramatic and emotional meaning, and a real knack for building up tension and mystery in his effects, even if the effects themselves are rudimentary, flash, or don’t work consistently (ie the kid thinks they know how it’s done).

2) a magician with no good patter, no real drama or tension, and no emotion but technically successful effects which fool the child completely.

We were having this debate a dew days ago and I’m interested to know what you guys think.
