Students and mentors alike should keep in mind that we all started our magic careers as beginners. From Houdini and Thurston to McBride and Angel, we all rose from the rank of novice. Without organizations like the IBM, SAM, SYM and MYI; without courses like Tarbell and Wilson; without the guidance of skilled friends and mentors many of us might not be where we are today. We all understand this and we're ready to extend our hand to the generations that will follow us onto the stages and arenas of the future.

If you have a question regarding any level of magic, don't hesitate to ask. The members of your local Ring or Assembly, performers in your local area, the authors of the marketed maze of books and videos and this forum are all here to help you reach your goals. All it takes is a question and a willingness to consider the advice offered with an open mind and a grateful heart.

But it's up to You to ask that question. Unlike Max Maven and The Amazing Kreskin, most of us can't read your thoughts, hopes and dreams. Help us help you!
