here's one cellini gave me he got it from slydini.
"YOU GOTTA BELIEVE IN WHAT YOUR'RE DOIN"
i believe we're the real thing .
magicians are real and we're it.
merlin was of the same stock.
you see i believe we've always been here only in the beginning, we were royalty.
when the people watch us, in the back of their heads they know this!
and they wait for the confirmation......that is, wether you're good or not!
and if you suck they are upset they fell for an imposter.
we have keyed in on the "secrets" and the BELIEF.
you must believe in what your doing when you do it. if you fail to do this, you're gonna leave a "TELL" for the whole world to see.
being a skeptic is an admiral cause, but their is no room for it during the presentation.
not while the magic is happenning.
you see, "IF YOU BELIEVE IT, THEY HAVE LITTLE OTHER CHOICE, BUT TO BELIEVE IT TOO."
a good mime could demonstrate this more transparently.
playing poker could give you a good feel for it.
here's a good beginners exercise;
when you palm a coin try and believe that you really put it in the hand.
let your subconcious take over concealing the secret moves. let the subconsious understand that's how the mechanic's of real magic works.
and pretty soon if you practice enough over and over you will be doing it with out thinking about it and you could even start moving impromptu and the subconsience will be covering for you.
i think this goes for anything you're doin.
if you believe you could be the best street performer it's possible but if you're just faking it you got no chance.
you see "fake it till you make it" is different than believing you could be the best.
do you wanna settle for just makin it?
