Hi my name is JP from Leicester England.

I have been half heartedly been studying card magic for a long time now, but I am hoping to escalate my interest and dedicate some time to becomeing a performer.

Just wodering how long it has taken you all to progress from total beginner to working a routine? and how much of an obsession it has to be, lol.

Did you do nothing but study and practice for 5 years, or is it possible with less dedication.

Cheers

Hi JP, welcome to TM.

It's not really all that difficult to put together a half decent card routine but you do need to practice. I guess when I stared out I took a good 4 months or so learning cards and putting together a routine before I went out and showed anyone.

A couple good books to learn from are Mark Wilsons Complete Course which has a brilliant cards section as well as covering other areas of magic and Royal Road to Card Magic.

Hi Jp welcome to TM

Hi JP and welcome to TM.

You may want to consider learning a few non card routines before going out to perform, perhaps adding some coin work. Only a suggestion though!

Nice to meet you, welcome and stick with magic. It's the best thing I've ever done.

Hi all, thanks for your lovely welcome. I am keen to get good, but as im sure you know, it aint easy this magic lark.. and I tend to get disheartened when im struggling with a technique.

But it sure is fun.

Hello and a warm welcome to TM. Enjoy.
