How can we tell if a guy's beginner or intermediate Card magician?
What are some requirements needed to be qualified as an intermediate Card magician?
Me personally, I wouldn't be too worried about that... unless you perform for magicians no one cares about your skill level, all the audience cares about is if you can perform for them.
Once you start thinking about beginner, intermediate and advanced you start forming a hierarchy which is not helpful. Everyone is different, just do your magic and entertain the world. That's all you should worry about. Unless you want to talk about skill level when it pertains to sleights you would be able to accomplish, that's just a matter of self-preference- some people learn quicker than others and some people find other things harder than some other people.
Just my 2 cents
Don't get too hung up on skill level!

I think the best way to identify level is by the experience/ practice a person has had.
To me (and only to me)
-Beginner: 0-2 years
-Intermediate 2-6 years
-Advance 6-10 years
-Mastery 10 years +
But surely that implies the old adage that "Practice makes perfect" which, whilst a good mantra to teach to kids, is surely flawed in real life? Practicing singing for ten years doesn't make someone a master singer for example... Just look at Casey Donovan
LOL pwned.
Well Practice doesn't make perfect
Practice makes permanent. So it is about the way you practice and the effort put in that gives you the end result. So I guess it is possible to do something for a long time, and still not improve, however you will still be proficient, if practice is approached the right way.
