Confession of magicians

My favorite kind of magic is magic that I have never seen another magician perform.
Often times I prefer stage magic to close up, even though I'm primarily a close up guy.
I think that stage magic is considerably harder to pull off than close up magic.
I don't normal people think metal bending is mentalism, I just think they think it's a magic trick.
I once had plans to hack in to Jarek's You Tube accounts to delete all of his videos. I do not think he is a good performer.
I have seen nearly every Criss Angel and Masked Magician special. I am very ashamed.

If I were to list my top 10 favorite magicians over half would be stage, and I've never performed stage magic in my life.
Maybe there is a message there.
I've been studying magic for 5 years now and I still don't have any routines. I'm not a professional (and I kinda doubt I'll ever be where I live -.-), but when I preform for someone I just do random tricks with no link to one another. It's annoying but it just seems I can't take any time to figure my stuff out.
If you listen closely you can hear that joke fly over the heads of all the millennials in here.
Shaketh my head man. Shaketh it hard... At myself. I have NEVER watched a Masked Magician because I will NEVER support that whatsoever. But I too watch reveals once... A bit ashamed.
Wow, I cannot believe what I'm about to say
In my opinion the greatest daniel Madison deck is:
(yes, I'm serious)

What do you mean I can’t believe it. I thought it was common knowledge that is was the greatest
I have to say, I was a kid when they were on TV
In my opinion they weren’t terrible. Far far from good though.
As for Criss Angel...
... My 12 year old self may or may not have done the same thing...
Young Anthony who had just gotten into magic loved the Masked Magician. Looking back on it now, Val isn't a great performer and the narrator was annoying and downright creepy toward the girls on the show sometimes.
Yeah, even wen I was younger it made me a little uncomfortable.
I enjoy daniel madison's work. (Before you judge me, i know that people lijeJason england are much better sleight of hand experts but i like madison's style and some of his ideas really fascinate me)
I have a lot of card magic books and never learned anything directly from them. Honestly I have never read half of them yet.
I hate gimmicks, hidden or visible.
I am more into the technical and sleight of hand aspect of magic than actually performing.
I have practiced the xavior spade side steal for more than a year but maybe got the courage to perform it twice.
I dont know almost any self working card tricks and i am more interested in the move monkey(ish) tricks and my patter before every card performance is:
"As we all know, magic is just sleight of hand and i wanna trick you with it ..."

Probably my biggest reveal which i forgot to mention is :
Because of where I live and cards being illegal, i almost always have to use sh**y plastic decks and cardboard decks. I have never had a bicycle deck, let alone the luxury ones from t11 or the virts or etc.
I learn magic tricks to perform them to myself.
I buy magic effects to impress myself.
Ive never had the guts to perform to a stranger.
I search for magic reveals on youtube of paid tricks that I really like.

I've got one:
Over the last couple of years I've accepted and even embraced magic teaching on YouTube.
Not straight exposure of other peoples' effects/dealer items, but decent teaching of standard effects/original ideas etc ala Jay Sankey, Rick Holcombe, PigCake.
