For those who think this premise is silly, I am presently reading a webcomic in which one of the most powerful characters (in which there is even a organization run by arch-angels) uses stage magic as the basis of his ACTUAL magic.
This character manages to flummox almost everyone he meets because (while the stage-tricks he uses are well-known) his results are unexpected.
Examples ?
He used the old "saw a woman in half" stage trick to remove a woman's head and to (more easily) transport her head around... still alive.
He hid a harp (that everybody is looking for) by putting a cloth over it and (now you see it, now you don't) removing the cloth to a bare table.
While he was being pursued (by a couple of the afore-mentioned arch-angels), he passed behind a sign-post (with a "see you later") and vanished.
