Like any technology, the tricks do become tired if used indiscriminately. Tricks should be content relevant. One thing about Prezi that I dislike is that it forces the 'pan and zoom' trick, it is just the fundamental method of moving from one content item to another. Therefore, if the content is not well-adapted to that kind of presentation, it will suffer rather than be enhanced. I think the recommendation that timeline material and that which can be arranged in a reasonable 2 dimensional are helpful for Prezi is correct. For much of the material we present, not so much.

It allows for a more dynamic presentation than PowerPoint, but it is limited to a set of basic "tricks" that will become "tired" after a time, just like PowerPoint's "tricks" have. I didn't find that it was terribly difficult to learn, but different people have different tastes about these things. Here's a sample of my Prezi work: http://prezi.com/h_rxmgrc7z0z/hall-and-angell/ Regards, Chris Green York U.
