Kurse, Bücher...?
Hallo zusammen,
vor einigen Monaten habe ich mit der Zauberkunst begonnen, speziell mit der Kartenzauberei. Ich habe mir die „Bibel“ der Kartenzauberer besorgt (Vicente Canutos „Cartomagia fundamental“) und fleißig geübt, indem ich die Anfangskapitel (mit ihren automatischen und halbautomatischen Kunststücken) immer wieder gelesen habe. Vor ein paar Tagen habe ich einen Online-Kurs eines bekannten TikTok-Magiers gekauft (ich weiß nicht, ob ich Namen nennen darf, deshalb lasse ich es lieber). Der Kurs ist wirklich gut. Allerdings suche ich für meinen Teil eher nach mehr Theorie (Sleights, Moves usw.).
Hier stellt sich mir nun die Frage an euch, die Experten: Was wären die nächsten Schritte, um in der Zauberei weiterzukommen und nicht auf der Stelle zu treten?
Auf YouTube gibt es tausende Tutorials und Tricks, und es gibt auch eine ganze Menge an Fachliteratur...
Beste Grüße!
Hey there!
Let me break it down for you.
The general problem EVERYONE faces when they start out (and not just when they're starting, it happens anytime) in this is:
BITING OFF MORE THAN YOU CAN CHEW.
That "unhealthy" urge to keep learning more and more without truly internalizing what you've already picked up is the real problem that leads to "getting stuck."
You mentioned you got your hands on Cartomagia fundamental, okay?
Did you read it and re-read it, say, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc., times??
After several readings (we're talking months here), did you follow it up with this?

Honestly, with just that book and those supplementary materials, anyone could become a professional magician and make a living from it.
You don't need more information until you've fully absorbed what you already have.
Our eagerness (and that crazy little imp in our heads) to know everything is almost always what ruins the experience of truly learning things and not focusing enough on what we already have at hand. To the point where we have pure gold right in front of us and don't even realize it because we're still chasing after the "perfect effect" (even if we already have 20 great ones).
This is all just my opinion, of course, but I advise you to focus on what you already have... because it's way more than what even very famous magicians had back in their day.
P.S.: I know several magicians who have impressive libraries but have barely read a quarter of all the material they own.
Sometimes, "less is more."
All the best!
Plus, there are hundreds of videos on YouTube; I recommend Julio Rivera's channel or Santi Marcilla's.
