Hello all,
I am an aspiring magician. I just started really practicing and learning about 2 months ago but I have had some on and off interest since I was a little kid (31 now). I havent decided on any area of special interest yet. Mostly I have just been reading books and these forums. |

Welcome bpeters,
And welcome to Magic. I'm not anti education but just reading Magic secrets will jade you fast with no real progress towards performing. It can become hard to "see Magic" after a while in Magic so you want to preserve your sense of wonder as long as possible. One way to do that is to avoid learning secrets than you don't have an intention of using in performance. I'm curious too so I know it is hard. Pick a project and work on getting so you can perform it for a friend. If you have a local Magic Club or a Magic friend to session with can help. Keep a journal or video of your progress and have fun! -Mary Mowder |

It's definitely been fun. It is hard not trying to learn everything I agree. I have been working on mastering just a few tricks and trying to make a close up routine. Unfortunately I live in the middle of nowhere. No local magic clubs within an hour or 3 and I know of no one else personally who has any interest. I have been trying to reach out to local magicians through those yellow page ads and such and of course I have joined this forum. Do you all have any advice on where one should start performing? How to get your name out there. I am more than willing to perform pro bono while I build up some rep. Thank you for the welcome.
