I don't think magic is geeky in any way, not even geek magic
But nobody's forcing anybody to do it if they think it is.

Sorry to hear that. I'm sure you'll get friends some day. Cheer up!
And as for gfs and what not. Mine tell me I'm a loser all the time and that she hopes i drop my cards whenever I'm on my way out to a gig. Personally, I'd have to agree. I am a loser. Whether or not I hang with the "in" crowd doesnt matter, Im a loser. You guys are all losers. Live with it and enjoy it. Don't get caught up in it all.
I'm not following. So your girlfriend thinks you're a loser and you think you're a loser, but why would that make everyone here on these forums a loser?
I think its because as soon as you mention a magician people either think of
A guy with a top hat on stage
Or a little geeky kid with bad tricks.
they dont really get to expierence a real close up magician with good tricks.
I used to sit in front of the TV, practicing, with a bowl in my lap to catch cards. I was a looooser....
Depends what age you are and... your clothes... Yes your clothes play a factor when people ponder, "This guy must have a lot of time on his hands."
If your in high school, I think clothes do matter.
When I watch videos on youtube of magic performances, I find myself looking what they are wearing first... Are they wearing shirts that are too big, capri pants... No matter how well the person may perform, if they wear clothes as though that aren't... "popular" let's say, it's not appeasing to the senses.
The reason why Criss Angel or David Blaine is so well percieved is not because of their tricks. That's just a factor. A main factor I believe is their clothes. Their clothes seem to emulate that they aren't card geeks or magic "weinerjerkers." That they actually have a life that isn't centred around just magic.
I mean, someone whose wearing American Eagle is most likely to get better perception from people that someone wearing sweaty sweats; even if they do a more impacting trick.
That's what I found anyways. Magic is more than just tricks. It's how you present yourself, both verbally and appearence-wise.

I agree, it mostly depends on your appearance, and what "group" you're in.
