How many tricks should you learn?

I apologize for necroing. I stumbled here and thought it was a very well written thread.

First off, this thread was old as hell. No need to dig it up just to say you concur with everyone else.

Second off, "The Elite guy" has been banned for months. I suspect you only read his quote at the top of the page, quoted by UM93, or else you'd have seen that he's banned under his name.

Is a year and a half really old? Man, I'm in trouble, lol...

Thanks for reading these essays, everyone! Kind comments are always read and appreciated!

I have a question for you, Jamie, Do you think a routine can be mostly or all cards? Should coin and rubberbands etc be included?

Talk about a late reply, on my part!

I would say cards are wonderful- they instantly establish what you're doing and why you're there. That said, the majority of the world has probably seen a card trick or two before. But not many, I dare say~ hardly any, have seen excellent close-up magic with other items. And it's always good to stand out and be remembered.

My 2 cents!
