It may be a good idea, but not for you.
For many years now, I have worked with my fellow magicians coming up with suggestions for their acts. Sometimes it’s a line, sometimes a structure, or a new hook, a new presentation, and sometimes a method idea. You name it.
After a while, I realized that many magicians don’t have a clear idea of how to judge a suggestion. This is not surprising—I don’t think I’ve ever read anything on this subject in the magic literature. Most people respond to suggestions based on how the idea sounds, in general, but since they don’t have a set way of evaluating ideas, this tends to be kind of random.
Over time, you gradually learn which types of suggestions work and which ones lead nowhere. Another word for gradually is slowly. Everything takes longer to improve when you don’t have a way to evaluate your progress.
I’d like to help you speed up that process. Even if you don’t have a friend or script consultant giving you suggestions, you still need to evaluate the ideas you come up with on your own.
