I am a bit disappointed myself. I guess it is harder to fight the "itch" than I thought.
Must.... get.... more.... magic.... stuff.... *wallet explodes*
I would suggest just continuing to perform the magic you already have. I remember a somewhat mediocre performance video of the biddle trick not long ago. Instead of going out to get new magic, just perform the biddle trick about 1000 times for different people until you work out the kinks. That is the only way to improve your effects. There is no shortcut. Just because you will read a book on theory, etc... it doesn't mean everything will then work out automatically. Improving your magic performances is a lifetime battle. So, this line, "I can learn some tricks, if I use them, great, if I don't I don't. I know, though, I will learn SOMETHING whether it be a new sleight or some theory and plus it will get me more entries into that Holiday Giveaway" is the worst line I have heard in a LONG time from someone claiming they are trying to become a better magician.
Disappointing
