On your artist profile, it said that you got into magic from seeing David Blaine Perform, what did you think of magic before then, was it an art to you, or was it some person producing rabbits?

Question # 1 (reposted from earlier)
One of the biggest problems in magic is people being unoriginal. How do you distance yourself away from everyone else? How do you become someone other than your average everyday magician?
Question # 2 (reposted from earlier)
I found that a lot of young magicians including myself have faced a point of self-doubt. For a long period I stopped performing because I was not confident in my abilities as an entertainer. Coming from a pro, I'm sure you could give some great advice on how to overcome those feelings. How do you gain confidence in magic? Do you have any tips or advice on how not to get discouraged when performing or even practicing? Thanks,

Question # 3 What drives you in magic? Do you just consider it your job, and do it strictly for money? Or do you do it because you love to entertain? Or do you do it for your own entertaiment? What keeps you going? Thanks,

3. I have recently seen a lot of comparing between Theory11 and Ellusionist. How do you feel about this? Do you think that both companies are similar?
While developing your skills as a magician, did you have anyone to help you out, like a mentor, or a friend who also did magic?
This question might have been asked because I haven't read thru the whole thread.
Question 1:
"Are you marketing any new effects soon here at T11?"
