You are a Seeker! You are fairly new to the Occult scene, and still don't know what you are doing. You question yourself a lot, and are still unsure of a lot of things. But you are willing and eager to learn, and that's a good thing. Just be careful that you are choosing the right teachers and sources to be learning from. But you are doing a good job so far.
Seems true :X Hahaha ~ I think it's True !

What the.... My tarots are 95% accurate, and my ouija skills are at least OK. And I can astral project... And most of all, i can make that darn card jump to the top of that deck!

i would like to share some quotes with u guys regarding this topic that i've read and have been much help to me. (i'm a fan of quotes, to me, they put across profound ideas in the most simple way)
"The great trouble with magicians is the fact that they believe when they have bought a certain trick or piece of apparatus, and know the method of procedure, that they are full-fledged mystifiers." - Harry Houdini
"Most magicians are nothing more than laymen with rabbits on their business cards." - Darwin Ortiz
“Most magicians ... are inclined to believe that they are ‘getting away with it,’ when they are in fact fortunate enough to have a polite audience.” - Dai Vernon
“A bad craftsman always blames his tools.” - Anon
"Our task is amazement, not amusement. Always amazement first." - René Lavand
"A conjuror is nothing if he only amuses and fails to inspire wonder." - Thomas Frost
“Be a magician who entertains, not an entertainer who does magic.” – Gordon

Haha, great fun guys, but just for the record ah, "magic" here is not our the same as magic tricks. It's a pagan spirituality found in the UK and stuff. Great fun, anyway!
GordonLi - December 31, 2004 04:01 PM (GMT)
yea, but i thought y not share some of these stuff (related in a way). I have benefited much from these, have more to learn, and i wanna help any1 who i can...

You are a Solitary! Learning by intuition and your own Will alone, you have your own way of magick carved out for you by you. Be careful though that by going it alone you don't miss out on good advice and helpful knowledge that could help you advance more. But you rely only on what works for you, and that's all and good cause you are probaly more sure of yourself than most of the others in this quiz are.
Hehe... cool! Thanks for sharing, Z ;)

No problem! It's alright, and the quiz has a lot of relevance with conjuring, and not just the dark arts.

i think the quiz aims to teach us humility.
may i share more quotes?
“The worst reason to do magic is the desire to display your superiority to your fellow humans.” - Roberto Giobbi
“Make them think they’ve been fooled by a gentleman.” - Howard Thurston
“Conjuring is a profession in which no one errs through excess of modesty.” - Robert Houdin
"Never tell your audience how good you are, they will soon find out for themselves." - Walter B. Gibson
Nicholas - December 31, 2004 04:23 PM (GMT)
Nice .... cool .... i am sure we cn all learn from it?

Cold reading is like telling the audience what's their personality and emotions or achievements just by looking at their faces. It's actually quite predictable sometimes.
I have tried cold reading on my friends, I had them hold coins in any of their hands while i turned my back against them. And by using their tightness of their hands, their expressions, their eye movements and the twitching of their veins on their hands. You could get the answer in 3 out of 5 tries. It's fun!
GordonLi - December 31, 2004 04:29 PM (GMT)
i think this quiz also can be counted as cold reading. u cant gauge a person's personaility that well by asking so few (and sometimes wierd) questions... ppl want to believe that the description given to them is unique, and that it really describes them. im sure many read horoscopes and say to themselves "yea, that's me!"

That whatever reading also requires some understanding of human psychology as well. And abit of possibility maths skills too. And some telepathy and a tinge of 6th sense... lol...

You are a Magus!
You've been there, done that, and now you wish to
share your experiences for others to learn
from. This is a good thing, and you should be
applauded for it. But be careful that you
don't become so full of yourself that you start
coming across as arrogant and snooty. In fact,
you may be coming across that way already and
not even know it, and some beginners may feel
that you kinda look down on them cause you do
display some pompousity at times. Relax, and
lighten up some. People will respect you more.
No one else's gotten this yet? I'm a god.

Go ahead and be proud of yourself, but don't get too cocky or full of yourself...you're not there yet.

But you rely only on what works for you, and that's all and good cause you are probaly more sure of yourself than most of the others in this quiz are. You are superior to most who stand in your way and you will achieve what others can only imagine. Your intuition is what made you correctly answer these questions so wisely. 100 years ago you would have been burned at the stake for being a True Magi.
Whoa!!! that was Fxxking cool
