To me, it is not about knowing how it is done, but being entertained with the showmanship and the "effect" that is desired. I KNOW how much is done, but still enjoy seeing these tricks done skillfully.
Getting back to the original video and the case I've been trying to make. In the video, Chris saw someone do a trick while claiming it was real. He KNEW how it was done and offered the guy a million dollars to simply do it again, but this time with an envelope that HE had in his hand. Of course the charlatan could not do it.

Yes, most of CA's tricks are entertaining, for sure. He does have talent as an illusionist, and good showmanship, and that's not a bad thing. But I think it's a mistake for him also sometimes to use blatantly obvious camera tricks that anyone could do. No skill needed, there.
Now, about the video, yep. True.
