Running Before Learning to Walk

I know this topic has been discussed many times on different threads, but I want to focus on this so that everyone. Lurkers and new members alike would benefit.

Marami sa atin gusto matuto kaagad sa magic at alamin lahat ng pwedeng alamin sa konting panahon. Wala naman masama dito, nakaka-adik kasi magmagic at sa isang baguhan, ang utak nito ay laging gutom sa kaalaman. A new world has opened up!

Kadalasan, ito rin mga ito ang sumusuko agad sa magic. Di nyo ba naisip kung bakit ang daming gustong matuto pero nawawala o nagsasawa na bigla?

When I got Gerry Griffin's complete card magic DVD set, I knew I was in for a classic treat. The first DVD was full of tricks, but none of those uses DLs, card control, false cuts and shuffles. All of them are very simple but relies heavily on presentation. I said to myself "Bakit hindi ako dumaan sa ganitong format?" I guess my life would be easier kung alam ko talaga ang pinaka basics ng card magic...which does not have sleights at all...but focuses on presentation, card placements and deck awareness. Most of them are simple, self working, and uses the K** C*** Principle (KCP).

Ilang beses na ba akong niligtas ng KCP? May mga times gusto ng spectator mag cut ng deck pagkatapos ko na i-control sa taas yung chosen card. Kelan ba natin naiisip gawing backup ang mga basic stuff na nalaman natin? AMININ...kadalasan wala tayo backup plan! Palming nga lang hindi pa sanay eh. Kaya siguro maraming sumusuko sa magic...

Bakit ba tayo nagmamadali matuto ng mga pass, shift, cascade control etc kung hindi ko pa alam mag palm, mag KCP, mag glimpse or peek etc? O kung alam man, hindi naman ginagamit o hindi alam ang importance.

Do we always want to run when we are still learning to walk? Naiisip ko lng :)
