For all the mysticism and hocus-pocus in what he did, he was a magician, and a very good one. He may have powers or he may not, you'll never get to know, but despite that he could hook a crowd just the same. The reason for that, the basis of all great magicians, was practiciality. For however incredible a trick may be, if it was not practical, if it could not be pulled off, it was useless. And so David thought of the practicality... and the showmanship... at every avaliable opportunity.
