24-year-old magician interrupts dad's retirement dinner to perform magic routine, accuses older brother of being jealous when he advises him to read the room: 'People came to celebrate dad, not for a magic show'

Everyone has a family member that was simply born to be a star. Maybe they never really got the opportunity to make it big, but it was clear to everyone from the beginning that they thrived in the spotlight. I have a cousin – currently a successful and respectable orthodontist – who was really into singing as a kid. He never pursued it in any sort of professional way, but he always performed for the family at weddings, birthdays, and even simple cookouts. He just loved putting on a show, and we were always ready to support him.

In our story today, a man's little brother demands attention. He's going through a magician phase, and he will target just about anyone to show off his sleight of hand – friends, family, neighbors, strangers, anyone that will give him their time of day. This might be cute if he were a child or even an awkward teenager, but this man is well into his twenties. When he steals the spotlight at dad's retirement dinner, he gets a well-needed reality check from his older bro.

AITA for asking my brother to stop doing magic tricks at every family event?

This man is way too old to be acting like this at events that have nothing to do with him.

Who would've thought that an interest in magic was such a big red flag? I guess if you get satisfaction by constantly tricking and gaslighting people…
