Regardless - if the career adviser gave the advice of following the dream in such a way that also allowed the person to support themselves, then yes. One can have a job that pays the bills and save up money in order to make an easier transition into full time performing if they so desired, as many have done. Professional performance is more about the ability to run the business side of things than being a phenomenal performer anyway. But none of that really matters to my point - one can be an amateur, make no money from magic at all, and still be an excellent performer. The only thing stopping them is the discipline to improve. Everything you're saying is just an excuse to justify not putting more effort into improving.

Fair enough. I understand. It's my lack of effort. You're right. Well, I have no more time or effort to give than I already do, so I guess that's that

I already said what the reactions are. Nothing different or unique. Just great reactions, faces of wonder, smiles, defences down, openness, enjoyment, respect.
To name a few!

But are they like you see on TV? Crazy loud running around screaming etc?

I want more of a 'stunned silence' followed by applause for my parlor shows, and for casual close up stuff I want more of the thousand-yard-stare, "what the f...." kind of reactions. Both of which I usually get.

Shin Lim is talented, but his main skill is publicity. He sells himself and his persona so well. There are magicians who are far more talented, but if you can't market, you will never get that famous.

And all the more reason I (remind myself to) do magic to be like me, not like anyone else - including those I respect and admire.

That being said, is Shin Lim doing magic like himself, or is he doing magic the way he believes will make him famous. Just some food for thought...

Ramsay is a very average hipster magician, who uses social media and tattoos and coolness as his magic. . As a real magician is so mediocre! Watch any performance of him.
