So whats the most imprtant thing you need to know? And the most important thing in my opinion is to learn three great pieces of magic. Thats all you need. Three great pieces.. because the difference between an amateur and a professional is that, professional does three great pieces and an amateur does a zillion. but none of them well. pick three and make sure that do it better than anyone else.

Genius
Today there is an article that geniuses can be made. What is the difference is that they have a lot of patience for what they do. That boring routine... they keep on doing doing...Mozart practised music for atleast 10000 hours.
The same thing happened to me in magic. Though I am not claiming that I am genius but the practice. Whenever someone comes to me and asks me to do magic, the very first routine I show them is Ambitious Card! In this routine, the spectator chooses a card and puts it in the middle of the cards. The magician just snaps his fingers. Boom it appears on the top of the deck. You do it as many times as you want..with same or different card or with entirely new different cards or signed card.
This one trick I practiced it like umpteen number of times. Always my there will be cards in my hands and I will be unnoticingly doing this routine without any spectator. It became so automatic that, even If I know the secret, like Paul " The GOd " Harris, I get astonished looking at my trick, even though I know the secret. And if someone asks me the secret the answer I give is : " I don't know " Because apparently I don't know.
