Well said Jon!
It is nice to read the comments from all who perform "magic" instead of "tricks". There is a great difference between the two in performance when one has the correct mental direction.

We opened the first and only close-up room for magic in Mexico with Wolf Ruvinskis. have several new coin vanishes and routines to share shortly just as soon as I can find someone to film them for me. Now living in Harrison, Ohio |

The idea about acting class is very good. I would suggest something like a Toastmaster Club. It will help you become confortable in front of people as well as giving you a lot of experiences in structuring your patter. It is not better than the acting class just something different you might want to consider. I know it has worked for me. Sometimes we get so engrossed in our study of sleight of hand that we lose the big picture. Magic is about communicating something to the audiences. So everything that helps bettering your communications skills will definitly help you.
My two cents, Yves |

And believe me, there are a lot of people like the second example. If this could help you, I am in magic, specially card magic, since the last 8-10 years... and I am still consider myself as a beginner cardician,... instead the true is I am a beginner and very bad cardician All the best magic, Pablo Tejero

I don't think anyone else has mentioned this, but it's also possible that you're practicing too much material. Are you focusing on material until you have it mastered or are you toying with lots of different ideas? I always find I make better progress when I stick with a single effect or move until I have it down pat.

Atheletes get stale and so do performers.
Take a break for about a week, and maybe two or three. It used to happen with me when I played basketball - got stale, played poor. Happens with me and the pasteboards - when it does, I put them away for awhile. Now they're always close, but I don't pull them out unless I'm really inspired. Try it, trust me. A.

Why don't you find someone who wants to learn and teach them. When you teach someone else you learn ALOT and you will also realise what you don't know.
