      @@adityachakravorty7179 well that's for when you are performing magic. When you are performing you need to be the smartest person in the room in terms of the trick you are doing. If you disguise the method and a heckler guesses the wrong method and you can prove them wrong it makes the trick so much better. When they are talking about being good in the terms of learning then you should always be with people smarter than you.

    Alex I particularly needed to here this advice so I thank you for it. Personally I went through a stage of not showing Magic to people that I met because I had exactly what you said a bit of an ego (After performing at school for a while). It has only been in recent times due to this pandemic and the use of this platform that I wanted to show people Magic and connect with them due to all of the missed opportunities in the past. Thankfully I am still young so whenever things return to normal I will make sure that I don't waste the opportunities which are presented to me. Again many thanks for the content keep it up!

    Take the advice of this video it could literally change your life. Example: I’ve always done card magic, not so much because I’m a magician, but as a pianist I can’t bare to have my hands idle when I’m waiting for anything, so I always have my deck of cards with me. Any time I’m forced to be idle at a doctors office or restaurant I practice card control. This went on for years and one day in Los Angeles I was at a Denny’s eating breakfast with my right hand and going through all my one handed card controls with the deck in my left hand. Part way through the meal I noticed two men in expensive suites looking at me from a neighboring table. After I paid my check to my surprised they walked right over to my table and introduced themselves as members of the Magic Castle in LA. They handed me a card and told me to come visit. Back in the day the Castle was one of the worlds most exclusive magic clubs. Membership was difficult if not impossible to find and you could not even enter the place as a guest without an invitation. It is probably still true. Needless to say this could have been the opportunity of a lifetime. But, guess what, I got busy with work and other things and their card sat in my wallet for years until I finally moved from LA and I never ended up going. Don’t make this mistake, follow Alex’s advice!

    hey Alex! Loved the video!
    It's advice that I have really needed, i've been doing magic since 8th grade and had many ups and downs (times where I did not do any magic at all). I graduated college last year and probably haven't done magic for anyone in over a year (I had reasons why I stopped, some was related to how people around me treated me and my magic, which made me feel like not performing).
    I moved out recently as well and recently showed my cousins and my uncle magic, and they loved seeing magic again too, and it made me feel excited while performing again too.
    Some things I battle with is having a constant thought in the back of my mind of "I think they can see what I am doing", which makes it hard for me when performing, and also responding to questions such as "how do you do it?"
    How do you deal with situations or get out of them if people keep on asking for more
    Let's say you have done 2 tricks already, and people just want to see more? How do you get out of such situations?

Also I've heard that you shouldn't perform magic to people as soon as they ask you to (maybe tell "maybe later" or "now it's not the best time" or something along those lines). Do you agree?

    It was the offstage perception of me, from everyone around me, that caused my shut down .
    I have lately come to terms with the *presentation* of Magic being the key to dealing with people's perception of me ... I was the problem ... with my own ego ... and, I just didn't see it back then.
