Hey Guys !
It's been quite a while since I've posted here for several reasons, school, work, etc.
However, the biggest reason is because of being burned out. Let me explain.
I started magic in 2010 and was extremely passionate about the art form. I was constantly reading, watching, performing, etc. I was like a sponge, trying to absorb all of the knowledge I could get my hands on. It was amazing and I would do anything to be able to rediscover the art form once again.
Lets flash forward to 2011, I witnessed Cardistry or Card flourishing for the first time and I was blown away. It wasn't until late 2012 when I actually started to pursue it and practice. Magic has my changed my life completely. I've gained so much confidence and learned so much about myself since 2010 when I first fell down the rabbit hole that is our art form.
2013 rolled around and I got busier with school, so I stopped practicing for a little while. And now it's 2014 and I barely touch a deck of playing cards.
I don't know what happened but It's gotten to the point where I don't want to practice or learn at all. Don't get me wrong, I still perform every now and then. But I haven't learned anything new since late 2012. It's not because I know everything that there is to know about the art, that's definitely not it. In fact I have tons of books and DVD's that sit on my shelf that I haven't read or watched.
I don't know what to do. I want to learn more and I want to practice new material but I don't physically want to. I'm burned out. Not even my favorite magicians inspire me anymore.
This is my cry for help. If anyone can point me towards some new material that I'd be inclined enough to practice, or some sort of inspiration, anything.
I want to keep doing magic / cardistry but I have no drive.
I still love the art, I really do. I'm just wondering if that love is real anymore.
Thank you for reading,
