From my experience this is a great way to develop bad habits and major flash-points. You may "get it" after trying at something for long enough, but card magic is not just anything - it is a fine art. There are people who can do passes, and people who can do them well! The difference is not necessarily who practised for the longest, but HOW they practised. Did they analyse what they were doing and refine it, or did they just repeat and repeat and repeat and hope for perfection? The latter will never get very far.
