I agree. Music is a performance art that has its own top level category, I don't see why Magic (also a performance art) shouldn't also have its own category as well.
As one of the magicians that perform magic on Twitch, I'd rather not use "Just Chatting" because:
- I want it to be clear what my channel is normally about in shoutouts
- when I would really want to just chat, I don't want people to think I'm performing magic, so it keeps it clearly separated
- I also don't want people to think I'm playing the old NES video game called Magician; but we've co-opted that category for this reason
