Time To Ponder

This is my email to Marcelle Fabie, my mentalism consultant and my mentor on the craft. Sad to say but I'm giving up my shows.

To one of the Philippine's greatest mentalist,

I've done some thinking lately and for now probably its good if I give myself some slack. I've started this craft for like 5 months ago and at that rate only few would have guts to do it for paid shows. I know within that 5 months I've accomplished a lot on this craft. I mean hobbyists out there on magic for more than 6 years still dont put on a show, they even got better tools whatsoever and I'm just someone who knows some sleights and presents simple tricks nicely. I fell in love with magic and mentalism.

I've been drowned into this craft so much that I could say that my rate of improvement and growth has been really fast compared to people who are doing magic /mentalism profesionally who learned this craft while they were still kids. 5 months is such a short time for this craft wouldn't you agree? I just have guts that's all.
The shows, exposures all of them came from guts even if I just do simple tricks and sleights.

I'm not saying I'm giving up on this but at this moment, I'm gonna stop doing shows. I know with all confidence, that I am a talented magician & mentalist if I'll base it to where it has brought me. Just 5 months and I knew these things, the presentation, and the constant improvement I am having especially hypnotism.

But I guess its time for me to set aside the cards, put back the clipboard into the drawer and start putting my life where it should be. Rest assured Mesmerize Magic Circle will still continue to bring about magic in Gensan with RJ and Dex but not me.

Thanks to all the advices! I hope all the ideas that I gave you will help in your up coming plans on this craft. I hope houdini's tricks which I shared to you will be of help as you reach
your goal of becoming Philippines' "Penn and Teller".

I'll stop having shows and performing magic&mentalism. But still deep inside the magician within me will still bring about magic in my life. Thanks! Take Care!
