Hi again.
So as I said in one of my previous threads I've been doing magic (mostly card magic) for about 4 years now, but I'm not professional. I'm not doing gigs or shows for money, would love to in future but I'm not really ready yet. So basically I just do magic for my friends, when we are going out for example. I have a good collection of tricks but the problem is, most of the time one of two things happends:
1. I just end up doing like 5-6 tricks that begin with "pick a card" or "peek at a card" or something like that and it becomes repetitive.
2. I do 1-2 tricks and then I can't remember what tricks I know (something like when someone asks you to tell a joke and you know a whole lot, but you just can't remember)
So my question is: In your situation, when you are just casually with friends or just someone asks you to show a trick, do you have 2-3 routines ready or you just do first trick that comes to your mind? I think (I could be wrong) that people don't usually do routines they use for paid gigs or shows because the environment and situation are different. Any thoughts?
Thank you
