Hi ejay1118,
As you know, in life things don't always turn out the way we'd like them to, but luckily no one needs to be on the cover of Genii to be happy.
Just enjoy life and magic and stop making yourself miserable thinking you should be famous in order to be happy because that is not true.

Re: What is the purpose of close-up magic?
Darwin Ortiz writes in Strong Magic that "you must create an illusion of impossibility." and that is to my mind the main purpose of magic.
Watch Earl Nelson perform, he is not funny but laypeople find him very magical and he really is.

By the way, you can find LaFollette's method described page 90 of the book Card to Wallet by Jerry Mentzer.
He does not retrieve the "three" cards put in the inner jacket pocket before showing the card in the enveloppe.

Hi Erdnasephile,
John Mendoza's method looks good to me even if I have never tried it in front of real people.
This method makes me think of Paul Gordon's method described in Quidnunc under the title Worker Supreme.
Take care,
