Hello there!
Firstly I'd like to introduce myself, Exar, to you all...this is my first post (of many, I hope) and I'm in need of aid!
I'm early 20's, always been interested in magic...and finally have the time/money to really invest in the art...and the past month I have been doing just that. Studying the history, development, the culture, the psychology behind this most illusive of subjects.
But I'm suffering with the fear of being found out. It's the same apprehension when you want to tell a joke, but you can't quite muster up the gusto to do so...because "what if I mess up the punch line".
And I feel I'm putting the time in on the techniques...so I guess the real question I'm asking here is;
When do you, as magicians, feel it is the right time to try the trick on someone for the first time?
All the best,
ExarKun
