Being a Mind Reader I already know. . . buhaha. . .
But Seriously Folks. . . I would say that our Original Poster is just after tricks, not so much a desire to become a magician. I will however, point out to him that he could put those two effects he mentioned to shame if he'd just learn basic slight of hand; he could start with the Bill Tarr NOW YOU SEE IT;NOW YOU DON'T books and then, if he really decides that he likes magic and wants to learn more, he can graduate up to the Mark Wilson Course in Magic and maybe even the Tarbell System after that. Who knows, he might even end up buying a copy of MAGIC & SHOWMANSHIP and ROYAL ROAD TO CARD MAGIC after all that and find himself well down the road towards becoming a real magician?
Wouldn't it be cool, seeing him in a year or two from now, laughing at his original post?
