Heya, thanks for the comment! You got it right, going out and performing is honestly the best way to learn! There are lots of ways to get around not performing the same trick twice. The easy and expensive option is to buy more books or tricks to do with mentalism. The cheaper, more creative and harder way is to not learn more tricks, but to present them differently. You'll learn that most tricks, are the same method in some way, so take what you already know and have a different speech or presentation to it! If someone is asking to do the same trick you have just done, and they have seen you do, a way to get through this is by saying, "I actually think you'll do a lot better with something else, would you like to try?" And then perform a different trick or the same, just presented different like said before. Hope that helps ☺️

@@chasingtheillusion52 yeah that does help, luckily, I had a few packs of cards and did some other tricks. They work really well together, and once you've planted the seed that you can "mind read" you can get away with easier things with marked deck for example. I also added a great kicker to a mentalism 'think of a card" trick (not sure whats its called) with an invisible deck, revealing the original card he thought of - he was mind blown - "I'll be thinking of that all night now" I also heard from another magician "once a trick, twice a lesson" and I've used that a few times. If you have any other one liners like that then please share - also could be a good idea for a video if you fancied a deeper dive into it? It's very powerful stuff and I'm enjoying it a lot. Your channel is criminally undersubscribed, although I appreciate the small audience, makes it feel a bit special.
