I initially posted something like this in the Cardistry section, but I think it can be applied to just generally everyone. I just want to see if more people would be interested in joining along and see if something like this is better to post here or in just the cardistry sub-forum:
The idea is to see what happens within a month for YOU. To either hold yourself to a goal or see what changes with your initial goal.
After posting this in the cardistry forum, my goal changed the very next day. So let's see if this little experiment works:
CARDISTRY:
- I have 2 flourishes I'm trying to learn: Andrei Jihk's 'Backpack' & Spencer Clark's 'Rinzler'. There's no way I'll have them polished by the end of the month, I just want to become proficient in performing both moves.
- Flicker - I'm hating the move LESS. I want to polish it up more. There's no way I'll become proficient at it. But a month's worth of practice will get me closer
MAGIC:
- I'm receiving a Tenyo Magic lot within the next few days. Big one here is a rare packet trick called 'Magician's Clock'. The effect is a card trick that accurately produces the current time. Goal here is to be able to create an interesting routine. Eventually, I want to create a routine and place it on Youtube, as the ONLY video of it (within the recesses of Youtube) is in Japanese and the routine for it is rather flat. I'm not going to be able to film this month. Goal is to be able to pen-and-paper the entire routine.
- Trade some of the Tenyo lot for other effects I need for my two children's hospital shows. Doesn't matter which effects. Goal here is to get at LEAST 1 of the 7 effects needed.
- Help my daughter become the next David Copperfield of children magicians
So. What are your goals for the month?
