Hey guys!
I am always practicing trying to master new slights and cardistry moves. I have only been doing magic and cardistry for about two years so I have a lot of material to practice. I usually write my sleights and moves on a list and put it on my bedside while I practice. By the time I get to the ninth or tenth effect on my list of things to practice I get really bored. I start tuning out and daydreaming. Then I would get up and go to the computer to watch some cardistry and magic videos. I would become inspired for a brief moment ,and I would start practicing intensely ,but after about ten minutes I feel the same way I did before. I actually spend more time watching performances and cardistry videos online rather than actually practicing.
How do I reverse this? Is there a way I can make practicing more fun? Should I practice in public? Should I practice standing up walking around? Or is it all about self discipline. Is practice supposed to be fun?
