Best of luck on this. The question arises as to why would anybody want to take a stranger under their wing? Well, it can be done, but usually through a local magic club or local shop where you hang around, go to meetings, get to know people and then find similar interests. Sometimes a peforming magician needs an assistant. Have you any local magic shop? Ask them for advice. Maybe find a name of a magician in the area that performs to ask their advice for your area.
My mentor(s) are books and DVDs. Then, the online forums. You get to know folks fairly well through forums. Keep looking for NY dudes - maybe you'll get lucky! Don't expect to sit back and wait for all the mentors to come knocking. Go out and look for them, in other words. Get more active, even if you don't know much or aren't very good. Keep trying, keep looking, keep practicing. |

MAGIC ORGANIZATIONS
One of these locations for the IBM or SAM ring/assembly should be nearby your area and you can join to go to a monthly meeting which will have plenty of experienced magicians willing to teach you. The first three times you go to one of these meetings it will be free, but afterwards you will pay around $70 for a year membership. It gets cheaper after the first year. Your membership also will include the Linking Ring or MUM depending on which organization you ultimately join (of course you could join both).
