講座?それとも本…?
皆さん、こんにちは。
数ヶ月前からこのマジックの世界、特にカードマジックに足を踏み入れました。カードマジシャンのバイブルと呼ばれる『Cartomagia fundamental(カードマジックの基礎)』を入手し、何度も読み返しながら初期のチャプター(自動的・半自動的なマジック)を練習してきました。数日前、TikTokで有名なマジシャンの講座を購入しました(名前を出すのは控えます)。講座の内容は非常に良いのですが、個人的にはもっと理論的なこと(技法や動きなど)を学びたいと考えています。
そこで、先輩方にアドバイスをいただきたいのですが、マジックの練習で停滞を感じることなく、次に進むためのステップとして何が良いでしょうか?
YouTubeには数え切れないほどのチュートリアルやマジックの解説があり、本もたくさん出版されていますよね……。
それでは、よろしくお願いいたします!
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.
