Confession of magicians

I don't own Marlo's revolutionary Card Techniques.
When I was younger I used to Love Jarek 1:20, and watched all his tutorials. Now, Looking back MAAAN!! I learned a lot of stuff wrong. But hey I was like 12...
Thank goodness for Mark Wilson's Course in Magic

My opening effect is a card Force reveal, in which I use
Brace your self...

THE HINDU SHUFFLE!!!!!!!!!!
I don't hate Rick Lax's FaceBook videos.
This got to me...
When I was 11, I had once performed the arm twist (the version where you clasp both ur hands), and done it so many times that everyone present there finally figured it out.
Also, I was smart enough to do the David Blaine-style arm twist without wearing a full-sleeved t-shirt.

I watched a YouTube reveal... once.
I really want to saw my wife in half.
I own more books than I can read in my lifetime but I want to buy more.
I lie to my audiences... a lot.
I like using a change bag with a handle that looks like it came from a magic shop.
I have boxes of magic effects that I will never perform.
I find most card tricks boring.
I bought a sponge ding dong trick because it was on sale.
Most of my performance material is nearly self working.
I have a hard time finding performance effects that aren’t developed by Jim Steinmeyer.
I purposefully pick attractive people in the audience to assist me.
My family says that I negatively critique every magic show I see. But I’ve seen at least two shows that I didn’t negatively critique.
I perform magic tricks for my dog.
I’ve performed the baffling bra trick for my in-laws.
I own 75 3D sponge bunnies.
I have 20 magic routines that are in the process of being developed and have been for at least two years.

How true...when I leap up at the time of buying a new book ignoring the fact that I haven't finished reading the last...*sigh*
that seems like a confession all magicians should make. But really, is it even a confession? I thought it was pretty obvious how we choose volunteers...not really because they seem to have the 'vibes' around them...
I have revealed many tricks such as card to pocket, false riffle shuffle, the cris cross force,the double left, and palming a card.
I have used magic to cheat at cards.
When I get mad at someone i want to tell them that I can make them disappear and not let them come back. ( OF COURSE NOT KILL THEM, JUST TO MAKE THEM THINK THAT I WANT THEM GO AWAY).
I have told some pretty bad magic jokes.
Most books I own are not even close to magic.
I also manly perform card magic.

I think I am better than what I really am.... That's my greatest sin is my ego. Thanks for this thread 010Rusty...... I feel like a boulder has been taken off my chest. Sometimes I go around thinking I'm all that and a bag of chips.... When in fact I haven't even begun to scratch the surface
I rarely enjoy watching magic performed.
I have just now decided that a group of magicians should be called a "Confession."
Like a flock of geese. Or a herd of cows.
Oh, the shame. How it courses through my veins!

I've got a bunch from early high school when I was just getting back into magic (I can't remember too many atm) and quite a few from now...
- Jarek 1:20 kinda got me back into magic.
- I spent $180 on Vapr and never use it.
- I also have no problem with Rick Lax's facebook "psychic" videos.
- I'm not a huge fan of most people's performances of the linking rings
- I like the chop cup a lot more than the cups and balls.
- I'm sure a lot of people agree but I'd much prefer to watch an entertaining magician than one who's extremely technically skilled. I'd take an old trick with an entertaining magician than a super clean card control demonstration with a boring magician.
- I don't have a huge issue with magic that sorta only works for the camera. I do have an issue when the company tries to sell it like it's workable or when an Instagram magician fakes their audience's reaction.
- I have a huge amount of respect for Jeff McBride and love his material but I'm not a huge fan of his performance style.

I hate cups and balls it’s just never appealed to me.
I also dislike most rope tricks and I sometimes still watch YouTube magic for kicks.
I went to a magic show and in my head picked apart every little detail about his show.
I don’t understand why most of the classics still exist and prefer the new stuff
I once tried teaching a kid at my school magic
I have hated myself and my teaching ever since

- I have more props than I know actual sleights or really anything. I have some books.
- I have spent a lot of time penciling a routine with the sponge ding-dong.
- I REALLY don’t like card magic (packet tricks are exemption). There’s a couple tricks that I find mechanically fascinating; but I tried learning Classic Pass and almost had an existential crisis.
