Hello... I'm not new to magic, but am new to the kind that impresses people.

I recently bought a couple gimmicks as well as Dan and Dave Buck's Trilogy. It's been hard working through this intermediate-difficult series, but I'm coming along diligently, and I've def noticed an improvement in my skills and ability to invent new tricks. So far I've managed Molecule Four, the deck flip, and hand to mouth. (Edit: I just got back from performing hand to mouth for a couple people. I've only been practicing it for one or two days and it worked perfectly. Is this a good sign, or just expected?)
I'm from Chattanooga, TN, arguably one of the coolest medium-sized towns in the United States, and have self-introduced myself to magic. I want to perfect my performance skills as much as possible so that I don't turn into on of those teens (I'm fifteen) on YouTube who have mad skills but are incredibly boring. And are afraid to show their face. Ah!
Anyway, hello.
Kristian
