I know it is not meant to be a cmpetiton but when I started magic I read stuff on the internet about it and what I saw a lot of was people tlaking about friends they had that also did magic and by the way they sounded there levels where pretty equal. SOmetimes while watching magic vidoes also people credit theri friends for teaching them stuff that helped with the trick so when my freind decided he was going to start magic I was happy. I was hoping that we would be able to discuss sleights ad tricks and teach each other stuff but it has not looked that way. But when he did little practice I got annyoed about this so I stared to practice more and push him to rpactice more and but he didnt and when people thought that he was equal to me like when I did a trick none of my friends said aything and I aksed why one of them said "Thats because we know (friends name) can do everything you can" and thats when it became a competition but insetad of my friend denying it he said "Only about half" WHICH IS WRONG! So I got annoyed tht people thought we where equal when he only did 30mins practice a week while I did an hour so I started doing evrything I could to show I was better (I may sound evil but you may of possibly do the same if in the same sitiuation)

My motivation to do magic and to become better is not the fact due to my firend but because I love magic and I love seeing what I hope one day I will be able to accomplish

Another reason for the competivness with me and my friend is that he is very competative with me in evrything. He is always like what did you get in in your prac report and what grade did you get if I beat him (which is most of the time) he is like Damn and then starts thinking about how his moither is going to be angry about how he did not get an A if he beats me he brags. He is better then me shooting games I used to be a gammer but mainly played games like the 2d sonic games and pokemon I still play games just not as much and whenver I am at his house and we are playing Cod or Halo I die a lot and he laughs and say u suck and stuff (even though he would fail at stuff like sonic) so now that I have something we both do I wanna keep ahead of him so that he can never brag or laugh at me.
