So, I gather DVD's and books and learn sleights and a thousand tricks. For example Stealing Pips, say I master it, but what can I do next. Can someone explain and post a few routines. What do you guys do with all the material ? Do you practise hundreds of tricks and only perfor about 20 inside routines ? Can someone explain this better ? Thanks in advance

It really depends on your objective. You learn as much as you can, but when you are ready to perform, you work on your presentation, which means you need to take a number of effects and put them together in an interesting way, perhaps even using a story as you build your routine.

Use the effects that you like best or that speak to you in some additional way. Once you have those, try puting them into a story, find the connection between the chosen effects.

It takes work, you can't just slap this sort of thing together. I believe routines should be a personal choice.

:comply:

Thanks, how many routines do you have ? So, actually, routines r your favourite tricks ordered in the best way possible with an interesting story and into small groups that make them easier for practising purposes.
