Hey guys! I’ve missed the deep intellectual side of theory11 lately. I’m trying to bring it back, but I’m going to need your help. I’m asking you guys to put your hearts into this thread and really take this idea to heart, and give a productive response.
When performing, I find that people want me to screw up they want me to find a card that isn't theirs. Too accidentally put a hole in my dollar bill when writing something on it. Or drop a sponge ball. Or drop a coin.
It’s frustrating to me, that sometimes my spectators get more joy out of my performances when I screw up. And less when i do well.
It bothers me to no end, and I keep thinking that, maybe it’s just a lack of presentational skill on my part. Or maybe I just suck at magic and I should give up, because people can't enjoy what I work for, they only enjoy when what I work for, doesn’t work.
That’s disheartening to me. I’m sure it is for others as well. So here is where you come in,
Share your stories; tell us about times when you felt like the whole world wanted you to fail.
Share your stories on how you got over this feeling of a lack of support.
I have gotten over this feeling recently, and I plan to share my story at some point, but not in the OP.
So have at it. I’m counting on you guys!
