Hey everyone
I've been working on card magic/cardistry for about a year now, and I just wanted some advice from magicians who have had much more performing experience than me.
I love cards, and at the moment I'm really looking to build a strong foundation with cards by reading books (and not buying lots and lots of tricks!) and also I'm getting more and more into cardistry too.
But it struck me, do laymen like variety in magic, say cards, coins, spongeballs etc. all in one routine? There's a lot of variety in just card magic, of course (sandwiches, haunted decks, transpos, ACR, collectors...you name it!) but is having more than just card magic better?
My aim is to be a really good cardman as such, but of course, I also want to be able to deliver the best magic experience for my audiences!
Hopefully this will help other magicians too.
