I have been gorging myself over tons of random notes and lectures of high-class magicians lately and one of the reoccurring themes for just starting out is to master the basics. But they never delve deeper into that thought. What are the basics??? I mean, the only thing that comes to mind is that you should know how to do a solid double lift for card magic. What are some other moves??? And what about coin magic??? Is there some basics in Mentalism that I should be working on???
