My name is Mr.presidigitation but I'm sure you already know that,
In this thread I will tell you why everything I produce is rid of mistakes and errors.
Essentially how to achieve an outstanding level.
First of all I applaud you sir,
You are intelligent enough to understand and appreciate opportunity when it presents itself to you.
You understand that it is not a right but a privilege to have someone like me posting here.
As for your question.
In other words you are asking me how it is that I never do mistakes.
Easy, Practice.
Regular humans would have you believe that 'practice makes perfect'.
Essentially they are under the impression that rehearsing a move over and over will allow them to master the move or improve on it.
However that idea is farse.
You will never.... eeever reach the expert performance level by merely "practicing".
In order to perform something and not only execute it well eg no mistakes you need to have talent.
Good news, it can also be achieved even if you don't have raw talent.
It has to do with how you approach the practice rather than merely dumb repetition.
I am not going to teach you how to practice.
I invite you to read this book if you want to learn more about the subject.

People are easily satisfied.
They do something see it sorta work and they foolishly believe that they are done.
People do lots of things and they do it well,
but they will never do it at an outstanding level.
They don't know what that is due to ignorance.
If you are performing magic this is not an excuse.
You know what the mechanics should look like.
Now the secret to performing at my level is this.
Practice does not make perfect.
Excellent practice makes perfect.
You have to make sure that you are practicing something under the right conditions with the right technique.
Dissect a move and approach it step by step by step.
Another element to avoid mistakes.
If you perfect garbage you will end up with perfect garbage.
Specifically speaking you have to give value to everything u wish to learn.
You want to spend your time working on something that will always pay off,
You don't want to waste your time working on garbage.
Essentially I do not allow mistakes.
1.By understanding how to efficiently practice something.
2.By understanding that garbage tricks are garbage and avoiding them.
3.By understanding that doing flawed tricks flaws you
In your case you want to perform a trick that will not work 100% of the time.
It is an angle sensitive trick so the probability of it working is actually around 85% in preset conditions,
And it diminishes with the more people you have and the less control of the conditions you have.
I propose you analyse this and understand that a trick that wont always work will not always work.
It is as simple as that.
If you want to avoid mistakes you avoid doing something that is mistake prone.
In other words don't do that trick and instead perform a superior trick that is not angle sensitive.
Of course I am not afraid or risks.
I can perform an angle sensitive trick to an audience watching all angles.
The reason I can do this is because I am a superior being.
Actually I would find a better way to do it.
You have 3 choices.
1.Don't do the trick
2.Set the conditions
3.Do a superior trick.
You're welcome.
How do you practice?
In this thread lets discuss correct practice and how to be a "perfect" being.

Ok, dear Mr. Presidigitation,
I have a question regarding to a popular subject. Imagine: me ( regular magician) performing a trick that doesn't work 100% and cannot be viewed from all angles for a second or maybe third time ( which is necessary ). Spectators are kind a tough and would make laugh of me if I fail anyways (Let's say they're former prisoners). What should I do in this case? how not to fail? Any advice?
A really appreciate your hard work and will to share your experience.
