I received an E-Mail two months ago about a 10-year practitioner of magic who is starting to lose his self-esteem and confidence because all of his friends and family are 'over' his magic. He asked if I thought it was 'too late' for him to do something with magic because he's 27 years old. He told me he had a lack of confidence due to a rough childhood growing up with school and the other children. I'm sure a lot of us have been there before, if not there currently, I know that's how I used to be.
I took this E-Mail to heart and decided to answer it publicly, because I'm sure a lot of aspiring magicians (and people in general) have these thoughts run through their mind. Here's a video of my response to Kurt, I hope you get value out of this.
