Celebrate the Magic we already own

This video from Erudite Magic encourages magicians to appreciate the magic books they already own, rather than constantly seeking the next new thing. The creator shares three tips to cultivate this gratitude, particularly relevant during the Thanksgiving season and the holidays. The first tip is to physically engage with your books – reorganize them, dust them, or simply flip through them to rediscover their inspiration. Secondly, share your magic with others, whether it's performing for friends and family or writing to authors to express gratitude. Finally, keep a journal to document what you're thankful for in your magic life, reflecting on your favorite books, tricks, and authors. The video also highlights Don's Magic & Books as a resource for finding rare and out-of-print magic books, and emphasizes the importance of reading for enjoyment without the pressure of immediately finding a trick to perform. Ultimately, the message is about gratitude and mindful appreciation for the magic we already have.
