    Coming Back From a Long Break

    Hey guys, After taking over a year off from magic, aside from several mediocre performances for family-friends, I have decided to come back. I saw Penn & Teller last night and it gave me that magic bug again. I initially left magic because it started to feel like "work" instead of being a fun...

    I'm back -- with questions

    I figured false deals, palming, and false shuffles would take up the majority of my time. As for pinky counting, would a thumb count be a suitable replacement?

    Hey guys, After roughly a year out of magic, I'm happy to same that I'm back! Moving to a new school, heading to the gym, playing rugby, and getting a german shepherd shut my magic down. I still performed a couple times formally, and maybe ten more times to others informally; not nearly as...

    Mentors?

    His diploma didn't have anything to do with the job he does now... And I disagree with a highschool diploma being nothing -- he's hired people who do just have a highschool diploma/something very simple post-sec wise

    Mentors?

    Don't bother with the whole YouTube thing, grab some books/DVDs! What I learned personally is that when you start learning from books first, DVDs are a cake. Also... books usually have a lot of more tricks/sleights and are cheaper than a DVD. If you want feedback on tricks, make a video and show...

    Mentors?

    Having a mentor is awesome -- you can get professional feedback and advice on pretty much everything. In addition, if your mentor's nice, they'll usually pass on old books or dvds onto you.

    Agreed, and disagreed. My dad had a highschool education and went quite far like that -- at the same time -- he's very much against me not going to university; people who drop out of highschool/don't go to post-sec usually do it because of money issues or are on the verge of making a huge...

    Tight Situation

    Like a lot of the other posts recommended, manage your audience. If you don't know how to manage an audience, go to a mall, or some other public place, and start performing. The more you perform, the more you'll be able to manage your audience.
