I want to be a magician house of enchantment jay leslie

Consider the rich kid with as many toys as he wants. He plays with them for a few months then they become used, old and not fun any more. His attention is on the next new toy even though the one he has still works perfectly well. In some cases the toys are abused so much that they don't work at all. Now consider the kid who is not so well off. He is told that his toys cost a lot of money. He does not get a new toy every time he sees one and so the toys he has are more valuable to him. Consider the hot shot with a new car every year. He doesn't take care of it as much as a retired person on a fixed income who can only afford the old car they have, so the old person drives more carefully and their car lasts longer.

What does this have to do with magic? I've seen many people who are new to the art and are having a hard time with their sleight of hand. I've seen a small number of others that can easily do a coin roll. More often then not, the people who can perform sleights with no practice do not appreciate the skill it takes for others. They are like the rich kid who needs a new toy every week or the rich auto owner who will trade in their car every year. Their interest in performing magic is disposable. There is no great challenge so they can't believe anyone else would pay them do something that comes easy. For the majority of performers, it's not easy to master sleights, so when they become proficient they are proud of their accomplishment. It's the people who struggle with a sleight that usually perform it more often.

So, if you are new to magic just remember these words- practice, practice, practice. With the advent of DVDs you have the benefit of specific knowledge almost as good as having a teacher sit next to you. I remember being a student. I would learn a new trick or sleight and would have to show it to Mr. Swoger before my next lesson or he would make me practice that sleight for another week. There were no new tricks until I could perform what I learned the week before. With that in mind I decided to include all the details I could, when producing our own DVDs. My goal is to make you able to perform all of our effects without taking weeks to learn. While most people do not master a move before skipping ahead on the DVD, they can play what they want to learn repeatedly until they get it. Just for the record, many of our instructions are in a picture and paragraph format because the elements that need shown are not moving. Sometimes photos or written instructions work better.

My suggestion is to learn the effect then reread the instructions or view the DVD again in a few weeks to pick up more details. The important idea to remember is if something is difficult to learn, you will have an appreciation someone else will not.
