Do the people got dumber than 20 or 30 years ago? Is the real magic dead and there are no professional illusionists who can make us to believe?

A couple of years ago I saw Chris Angel's live show in Las Vegas. I'd like to know your thoughts on his stuff, but from my totally uniformed point of view, it was the most mind-blowing magic I've ever seen!
Honestly, when he throws handkerchiefs into the air, then they turn into doves and fly over the audience and right into the back wall, and as soon as they "hit" the back wall, they turn into video doves and "fly away" I was just stunned.
When he asks people in the audience for numbers and then has someone from the audience open a box that was chained to the ceiling, they unchain, unlock the box, pull out a sealed envelope and tear it open to find a piece of paper with the numbers on it, like wtf?
