My goal is to actually practice with some of the playing cards I purchase instead of simply adding them to my collection.

2011 has been a real life opener for me and my future. I have come to know several goals through out this year. My first goal is to finish designing my deck, and find a way to get it published. My second goal is to finish writing at least one of the books I have been working on for a while now. My third goal is an oldie but a goodie, its to get back into shape, I let myself go a little during 2011. My last goal is to make this world or at least the world around me that I can influence a more magical place, I plan to bring joy to more people with magic and to bring some happiness to the people who need it.

My goal in magic (and in general) is to start performing full time doing a stand up magic show. This hopefully will lead to me performing illusions later on in life. I want to do some small tours to get my stand up magic show running and full time doing what I love. I have the material that I am going to do but getting out there and doing it I've been to scared to do and now I feel like I am ready to pursue this type of magic.

Simple, learn gambling related move. So, purchase Card college, after purchase fondation 1 and 2 by jason england. I think this will be enough material for the next years. Also, practice what I already know.

Hope you guys have a great new years! I have a few different goals for 2012, my first goal is to release 3 tricks on the wire that I have been sitting on for a while, my second goal is to finish my new mentalism show and start perform two stand up shows 1 mentalism and 1 magic! And hopefully the walk around I already do just keeps picking up! And lastly I am very big into art so I would love to design a deck of cards for my dad who passed away just over a year ago, he died of leukemia so I would love to design a deck maybe with an ER feel to them and give all the proceeds to cancer research! I plan on 2012 being a big year of magic for me so I hope all my goals come true with lots of hard work and dedication! Lastly, Thank you for your site which has helped me reach so many of my goals already!

Happy New Year!!!

My 2012 goal is sad but true. I'am terrible in relationships like..bad haha. I end of falling to easily and I am so confident in my talents and work that she wouldn't "leave" and I start ignoring her and only focus on magic and my creations and my music and art. Not her. So I end up ignoring her, which I hate. And I do this alot and I think I finally learned my lesson. SO this 2012 my goal is not to be a d*ck to women and not just focus on me :)
Real talk.

Goal: My history teacher and I have not been getting along very well. In class, I get distracted very easily and I can be a bit disruptive (calling out, raising my voice, etc...). I truly mean no harm, but in the moment, I am never really thinking about the effect my disruptiveness on her and my fellow classmates. My goal is to get on her good side and show her that I can change my behavior and classroom ethics.

How to Accomplish: First, I will apologize to her, in person, for what I did during the first semester. Then, I will need to go out of my way to do change my behavior in her class. I will need to make sure I always say please and thank you, listen to her the first time she gives me directions, do not be disruptive in class, and participate in class more often. I will be respectful instead of just sucking up to my history teacher because being respectful shows compassion and dedication, while sucking up is a method of trying to get something that you want.

Obstacles: First, there is the possibility that my teacher will not accept my apology. If this happens, I will need to show her that I am capable of changing my actions. If she sees my capability, maybe it will change her perspective of the true person that I really am. Also, there is a possibility that my teacher will not want me on her good side. Since we did not get a long very well, why would she suddenly change her opinion of me. If I cannot get on her good side, I need to at least stop the arguing and bickering. That I know is something that I have full control over (I do not have control of my teachers feelings, but I do have control over my actions).

Deadline The sooner the better. I know that this problem will not fix itself overnight, but I would like to have a more stable relationship with my history teacher by the end of March. I believe that this is a good amount of time for both of us to heal, as well as enough time for me to show that I can change my behavior for the better.

I will continue to be awesome.

To be slightly more serious, my plans for 2012 are to get close to being able to do a one arm chin up and to learn Quenya (elvish). Magically related, I want to start performing for people again. I used to, but haven't in a while. This is going to change.

Get more organic with my magic.
More specifically...
Creating (and stealing from others) a sick pen routine.
And I also want to be able to do more table magic.
