True, but the magic is in the performance, not in the tricks. Often these kids focus on the presentation of their slick technique instead of entertaining, so it just comes across as "look what I can." As Wesley James asks in the title of his manuscript, "Why Should I Care?"


Actually, the title is "Make Me Care," which is intended to express the plea of audiences that have had magic inflicted upon them by those who perform for their own egos rather than for their audiences' pleasure.

You're only going to really learn it by doing it.

Get a couple of small successes under your belt, and then venture from there. The more you refrain from getting out there, the harder it will be. Trust me. Been there (as I'm sure many here on the Café have as well...)
