I only plan to do a simple trick if this question gets brought up: "What are your hobbies?"
Some people might think that I look desperate (and yes I understand why), but it's been part of my life for past 6.5 years. If I state that I do magic tricks for hobbies, I just want to end the interview with some kind of impression that 1. I'm not a liar 2. My abilities are not limited to what's written down on the paper.
If I ever do, it's going to be a very short trick. Nothing shocking or amazing, just something in between good and great.
@whoever said this: I always carry around a deck of cards, minimum one. I have 6 in my school backpack right now.
