To become a better magician, one should spend their time practicing and performing. Forums help me kill some time and hopefully guide me to an interesting trick or book to research and discover.
I find it hard to believe the way a board is run could hurt magic. I would be a much better magician if there were no boards as I would spend more time practicing the tricks (and books, DVDs,...) I have purchased instead of researching the ones I should buy next.

Never read Magic magazine for that matter either.

(By the way, the inclusion of the word 'arbitrarily' above seems to suggest that you have made an assumption about me.)

How's it going with the Hofzinser tricks?
