Alohomora post 16, Skills and habits

One of the fundamental key in successful living lies in the bedrock of knowledge and understanding. We come to the point that knowing and understanding liberates or gives us that exhilarating feeling. But we can not rest on the feeling, the knowledge of the skill should be practiced and becomes a habit. Thus, you can "perfect" your presentation skill by practicing over and over. When you do this, the skill becomes trained to your neural brain connections. If you add more practice then these connections become entrenched, thus they will now become habitual on your part. Thus we have this term, "force-of-habit". When you keep on performing the force-of-habit becomes a part of you. Fundamentally, we start with knowledge, then we get to know that knowledge or skill. Once we practice and repeat a magic act, the act becomes trained into our body that becomes a part of us. If you fail to practice or repeat it, they they get lost, perhaps forever.

Remember the magician's code: 1. Don't reveal the secret, even to your best friend! 2. Don't perform the same trick twice before the same audience, 3. Don't do any trick until you have practiced and perfected it thoroughly, 4. Don't knock other magicians. Do unto them as you would have them do unto you.

You will be having a long vacation. I am encouraging you to practice your routine over and over again until you perfect your moves. At the beginning it will be difficult. One of my former summer student will be performing at Aura this coming Sunday. His interest led him to do magic performance. Note that YouTube can teach you a lot of moves in magic. Keep on performing.
