I am doing magic for more than 2 years now and I picked up cardistry as hobby more than a year ago. I have no doubt that I'm going to keep up doing both of them for a long time.
However, I'm in a dilemma. Nowadays I do not do magic in school, only cardistry. By the way, it's good activity to keep you from getting bored. I only do magic at parties and bars but people also see me doing cardistry and that is what I'm concerned about. (They enjoy wathing it and they're always amazed even by the simplest flourishes.) My standpoint is that people either see you as a "card guy" who always plays with a pack of cards or a guy who can take any object (playing cards, for example) and do something amazing with it. For me, these 2 things are entirely separate and have nothing to with each other.
This topic will become relevant in a few months as I'll be attening a new school in a new town and I feel like I have to choose which side of me people are going to get to know.
Have you ever had this kind of a problem? If so, how did you get solved it?
P.S.: Sorry for any grammatical mistakes. I'm pretty sure I've made a few.
