I swear

I'm swearing off buying new magic items for a year. I've realized lately that I'm not a dumb guy and that I am only weakening my creativity by purchasing other people's magic items. Not only this, but I have way too many to keep track of and I've been buying recently for the idea more so than the effect.

What really pushed me over the edge is when I was considering buying a new product and I tried to stop myself. I told myself that the description seemed like nothing new and that I could do it on my own. I made a list of things that I would do in order to "prove myself worthy" of purchasing it.

After reading this new product I realized not only could I have come up with it and not only had I already read of most of these ideas, but I actually did come up with it a few months ago.

I only came up with it because I have an active mind and I've bought a lot of this website's material. I had taken the ideas I've read from them already and expanded on them in my own way, which is all they did for this new book (not that I blame them.) I'm just openly expressing my stupidity and commercialism ways and denouncing them.

I swear to not buy any new magic products for one year from this day. I will use this time to work on my perfomances and creating my own effects. I will also use the time, effort, and money to get my magic career going.

Thanks for reading.
