Is there a place where magicians/mentalists can discuss secrets/methods/presentation? I think that this would benefit a lot of magicians. I know that some forums have moderators, but you have to post a lot of reviews to get acceptance. There are also magic circles available but they require a monthly fee. I am simply looking for a place where you can demonstrate proof that you are indeed a magician and carry on.
Yeah it's not easy being into magic. I think unless you have friends who are into it or you're part of a magic club then you're on your own. Maybe if you get to know some people in your local magic shop?
Mahoney is right - the best place for discussion of tips, routines, secrets etc is in a Club or Society. TM has Moderators and we have a Restricted Area but we don't reveal secrets in there either.
You could try The Manchester Circle of Magicians. Subscription is only £10 a year and you can meet other magicians and discuss routines, secrets and anything else to do with magic. I joined last year and I highly recommend it! www.taurusmagic.net
