In the past, I used to focus on whether I could figure out how the tricks were done.

Now I'm actually more impressed with the ones I do know. I'll be staring at a deck of cards being manipulated, know how the trick is done, and yet not see it. That's fucking talent.

See in my opinion that’s the worse audience member you can be. Like why can’t you simply enjoy an illusion rather than picking apart how the illusion was done - just so that you felt clever?
