Hey guys. Before kick off this thread with whats on my mind, I just want to ask anyone and everyone, from those who have been involved with magic for a few years to seasoned pros, to read this and reply to it. Please members and artists alike, read and reply.
I am eighteen and have been performing since i was fourteen. When i started, my appetite for new material could not be satisfied; my thirst for more experience was never ending. Now, four years later, I am afraid i have hit a rut. I am afraid i am falling out of love with magic. Of all the material I know, I believe it is safe to say most of it came from those first two years. I think maybe part of why i am discouraged could possibly trace back to the heaps of inferior methods i have been dissapointed by. I think when i started, i still saw magic like a spectator. Now i think i see it more like a stage hand sees a play: it's never as good from behind the scenes or when you see the play nightly. It just isn't as magical to me anymore. I really just want to know if this is a phase we all go through or if it's just me. Please reply.
