Watched it as well, thank you very much for sharing this. Even though I am no professional (by far not...) I found many interesting pointers and things to think about. By the way, I really enjoy your Magic Monday Madness videos!

All the best,
Sven ^^

I'm bumping this post because a lot of younger teenage magicians have been messaging me lately asking for advice, and a lot of my advice is contained in this in-depth interview. So.... bump!
