You need to be more specific. When you say "at this magic thing" what are you meaning?. What type of magic do you preform?. Also for a magician to come up to you and just say you need to practice more is not much help and actually quite rude!. At least give some structured criticism. Practice doesn't always add up to perfect either as you need to know if you are practicing something correctly in order to get better!.

I enjoy sleight of hand. No mater what it was it alway "needed work".. if it was sleight then thats what the said needed work. If its self working I was told the patter needs work...grrrrrrr a no win.

I would be interested in seeing who these magicians are that keep putting you down!. I am aware that some magicians can be egotistical and like the thought of making themselves look good but most of them will always be happy to help and point you in the right direction.

I cannot drive due to medication i have to take (complications from Chemo/surgery).
