Specialize in all around close up illusions. (Doesn't really practice on my tricks, once I learned it I only practice it once. So I don't have smooth fast hand. Hah.. :o )

Just looking around looking for friends to start a magical life.

wow, you studied magic for 7 years before actually performing?

anyway, welcome rain! :lol:

I'm sorry, I'm going to be brutally honest with you.

If you don't want to practice your tricks, please don't perform.
Perform for yourself. Or perform (read: practice) for other magicians. But please don't take it out there for layman till you have taken the effort to practice it to do the magic some justice. This is true even for supposed "self working" tricks.
You might expose the method due to your lack of practise and ruin it for other magicians, or worse....

Other than that, welcome to the forums. :ph43r:

Are u for real u didnt practice? :!!: :!!:

u gotta be kiddin..

Well he says it only practices it once after he's learned it... so... he practices? Heh. Anyhoo, welcome to SMC.

WElcome welcome..... :D

Hehe really into magic but time spare no one. I didn't really practice it until perfect. Just presentable. :D

Welcome on board the forum. B)

As you no doubt have realised, the people here care a lot about quality magic. So if you're intending to, or already are performing for strangers and people outside of your personal familial and social circles, then for the love of God, practice!

People will start enjoying your tricks more, you will screw up less, and you will seem much more magical.

As your own signature ironically says, illusion is only a step to magic. And if you're performing things without good, hard practice, and people aren't convinced, then you're not even performing illusions, much less magic.

Think about that.


Nevertheless, if you want to improve your magic, there's no better place to be than SMC. Welcome. ^_^

Wow, you really got a bit of flak on your practising part.

Anyway, if you are 8 years into magic, I don't see how you have no time to practice? I am very sure at least out of the 8 years, there would be 2 years worth of practising time. So much longer than many of us. Unless you had too many tricks on hand that you didn't have time to master all of them. Then maybe you should review your buying habits.

Anyway, welcome!

Hi xLoStLoVEx,

I can't help but notice that you created quite a lot of buzz on the forum lately with your video clips and your comments on the thread in Card Magic posted by Freeze so I decided to drop you a little message in your intro.

Everyone in SMC cares a lot about the art of magic and like what Maddened said, we care a lot about quality magic. I'm surprised to read that you specialize in all around close up illusions but you do not really practice on your effects and once you've learned it you only practice it once. Unless you're telling me you're a gifted magician genuis, I have say that for the love and respect of this art PLEASE put the time and practice into what you want to perform. No one likes to watch an off-key concert or unfinished movie. So the same goes for magic. No one would like to watch a half-effort effect. By doing your best and garnering the reactions, you'll feel the efforts were well worth it.

You've studied magic for a long time, I'm not going to doubt that so you should know that the magician's code very well. Hence, by all means uphold these ethics. We apprecaite your contribution and views in this forum but please do so tactfully and with respect for one another. We were all brought here together by magic and its this magic that sparks new friendships. All in all, welcome to SMC, hope you'll have a magical time here. :)

Cheers
Jerome

Heh thx. Yeah was hoping to find buddies to practice with, that's how I found SMC.
