Very well said, Daniel

Another good time to practice is while watching T.V. or waiting for a certain video to download.While I am watching Family Guy I just mostly practice DL and other sleights and you would be amazed how fast it would become smooth and second nature to you after a few episodes

Also remember don’t try to rush a sleight your just learning on…Slow is smooth,smooth is fast.

Great Article!

Much love Ellusionist XD

This is a great blog, but I do notice one mistake. Rather then ”maybe your magic catches the eye off” which causes a most found pattern of:
- Magician dribbling the card, looking around like some predator, waiting for people to approach him.
- People walking by akwardly, not sure what to exactly say.
- Magician disapointed, as nobody approached.

Much rather:
- Magician dribbles a bit, After which he steps up to a group of people and musters up all courage, and just goes for it. I mean in the end, who cares? Its not like you’re going to see those people again anyways.

”Hey guys, I’m Daniel, shopping with my girl, mind if I show you a little magic?”

9/10 times they reply positively, they’re most likely waiting to for a spous/girlfriend/friend to return from their oh-so time consuming shopping duty’s.

So go out, and grow the balls to APPROACH people, this was and is my primairy practice, and I’m the most outgoing social guy in the revenue now, I used to be a bit of a shy person .

Hahaha I do this everywhere. People literally either ask me to please quit being so loud with the cards, put them away, or my favorite, “do you know any magic tricks?”
