A long time ago the was a magician nicknamed 'Rovi' by his peers, I sadly was unable to meet him, he only knew 3 slights classic force, palm and the double lift. He only performed 6 tricks but the presentation was perfect not only that but he performed all over the world. What I am trying to get at is no one needs a ton of tricks or slights to be great quite the opposite really. If you can classic force you don't need to control but if you don't have an imagination and see opportunities you will never reach your potiential. Take this story a friend of mine managed to get a selected card in side of a duke box on a spinning record of a spectators choice think about it.
