The Magic is Within You. I figured out some secrets to winning. And I discovered some methods that will work for average people like me. I thought I would share my secrets with you. You must have the credentials to work and the burning desire to be somebody if you want to make it to the top in life. If you just can’t stand being average and ordinary, this thread is for you. Take these principals to heart and get ready to change and enhance your business. Now I am not saying it is going to be easy. In fact I am saying it is going to be tough. Changing your business plans is never easy, but I am saying it is worth it.
You do not have be a genius with your life to become financial independent. You have to be you. But you have to be the best you can possibly be. I believe everyone in life wants to be somebody. Remember those dreams we had when we were kids? Some of us said we wanted to be a full time entertainer. After we finish high school or college, everything collapses. People usually think, “Life has kicked me to the curb.” These people are no longer pumped up individuals. These people who previous thought they were going to have the business they wanted have given up. They think, “Life has dealt me a bad hand.” Instead of feeling like they can run a business, they develop an attitude of just taking it. Just accepting whatever their occupation dishes out. But the good news is you don’t have to take it. You don’t have to continue your occupation this way. You don’t have to be just average and ordinary. If you want to win, here is the first step. You have to start believing in yourself again. Lack of belief in themselves is the #1 reason people fail in life. Once they grow up and let the world put them down, they lose all the confidence in themselves. But they can get it back. And they must get it back if they want to take charge of their lives. Life will give you whatever you will accept. If you will accept doing a few shows a year, life will give you a few shows a year. If you will accept being unhappy with your business, life will make you unhappy with your business. If you accept financial problems, life will give you financial problems. If you will not accept those things in most areas of your life, you can have anything you want. If you demand happiness, if you demand fulfillment, if you demand success, that is exactly what you will get. If you think you are on the edge with your business feeling like a total failure, there is still hope for you. There is still time for you to succeed in business. If you want it bad enough, you still have the time to change and make your life change into the way you wanted when you were young. In order to do that, you must get the following power principals in your brain: Power Principal #1: You have to demand for your happiness and success. Nobody is going to tap you on the shoulder and hand you an opportunity. A lot of people think since no one is going to help them, they do not have a chance. Wrong. You do not need anybody else because you have the power to be successful inside of you. All you need to win is a place in this world and a determination to go get it. You have to demand that for yourself. Power Principal #2: You have to learn to dream again. Stop telling yourself what you can’t do. Start thinking about how you really want your business to be. Let your mind open up to the possibilities when you started magic tricks. Retrieve those old dreams and dust them off. Practice dreaming everyday. You can feel like you did before if you let your imagination go free. Believe in yourself. Two thirds of the battle is in your mind. Belief in yourself is power. Power Principal #3: You have to compete. The last time most people ever competed was in high school or college. In the adult world you hang on to that good feeling about yourself. You have to see yourself winning. And you have to get yourself out there and compete. Power Principal #4: You can change. It is not too late to change. Wherever you are in life, there is still time for you to jump back in the game. All you have to do is recognize the power of believing in you. At this moment you might be thinking no one believes in you. Society probably won’t. Your friends probably won’t. If you believe in yourself, none of that will matter. No one can judge a person by looking at his/her background. College degrees and I.Qs. are not the secret. The key to winning in business is what is inside a person. Common sense is far more important than book sense. I remember back in the mid-seventies when my mother purchased me a magic set. I really had fun showing magic to my friends and family. A few months later my mother took to me to a magic shop for the first time. I was really amazed by what I saw inside. I just wanted to grab my hands on every trick in the store. Before I left out of the store with my mom, I approached the owner and said, “I want to be a magician. And I want to be the first black professional magician in Detroit.” Now you talk about handicaps. I was new with magic. I had no friends who were magicians. I was bad at sleight of hand. But I had a dream. I wanted to be somebody. I would practice and rehearse on a daily basis not even thinking about watching my favorite tv programs. When I got older I started my magician business. I had ads in the Yellow Pages. Do anyone think I heard the failure messages? If anyone ever heard them, I did. But I made a choice. And we all have the same choice to make in life today. Now, you discovered why you stopped dreaming. And you are on the way to believing in you again. You know what the secret to winning really is. It is not talent. It’s not looks. It is not a college degree. It is not a privilege background. So what is it? I can explain it to you in just one word. The secret to winning is “Desire.” If anyone forgets anything I discussed in this thread. Always remember this one line, "The Magic Is Within You." We all have the power and abilities to succeed. If you don't use it, you lose it. I hope to see you all at the top by the end of the year. |

I would practice and rehearse on a daily basis I think this right here is the other half of success. Believing and dreaming are nothing without action. And sometimes a dash of realism helps too. A wise man once told me: "Part of success is finding out what you don't do good, and don't do that!!" Nerve issues keep me from being very good at too many sleights. So I don't do those - I opt for other styles that don't involve sleights. If I ever wanted to win the Olympic marathon, that train has long left the station! But there are other runs I can complete successfully. Setting the sights lower to avoid the hard work is a success-killer. Setting the sights lower to match reality is on the path to success. My thoughts, anyways. Ed |

I think Dynamike and Ed,s posts combined offer sound advice. One really needs to be able to assess their given capabilities and limitations, incorporate focused guidance and be willing to be flexible to alter plans along the way. The"Magic" may be within you, but you need to know what kind of magic it is and how to use it to your benefit.

Thanks for the post Mike. Very well written. I'm currently making some decisions on where I want to go from here as a performer. The main thing I want to keep doing is what I enjoy. Making kids smile is at the top of the list of what I enjoy most about this business. If I can focus on the magic within me I know I will succeed.

Pm it to me.
I like when he wreaks havoc. Usually he is ham handed and easy to spot. I hope he caught me this time. That is cool.
