Whats a good start in practicing my tricks? I'd like to practice daily for a start. Do you guys have a schedule, like which sleights you practice first, then which effects. How long should I practice? Thanks!
I've struggled with the same thing...check out this excellent book by John Carney: MAGIC BY DESIGN - Study, Practice & Presentation.Whats a good start in practicing my tricks? I'd like to practice daily for a start. Do you guys have a schedule, like which sleights you practice first, then which effects. How long should I practice? Thanks!
Thanks for the tips guys. Hmmm..should I practice all the sleights I know in one practice session even though I won't be using them in my current routine?
Yeah, I have a full time job that's exhausting, so I don't practice for hours a day. I usually get at least half an hour in every day, some times a lot more, some times I don't practice at all. This is what works for me. I tried setting down a schedule at one point, when I was reading through RRTCM. I would come home from work, spend an hour or so eating and relaxing, then grab the book and the cards and go over something for an hour or two. I started getting really bored with it.
Fair enough. With my current practice scheme I don't think I'll get bored any time soon. Also, is your signature quote a parody of The Princess Bride?
I'm not worried, The Princess Bride is one of my all time favorite movies. And books, for that matter.
