Out of sheer pity, Maxi offered to teach me how to deal cards. One of them being card throwing. I swear I thought Maxi was going to slice my hair off with the way he threw the card.
But with the way he taught me, I barely made much progress.
"Oh Howie, how many times is it going to take you to figure out my card?"
'When you learn to be patient for once.' Maxi annoyed me constantly. Every single day, whenever I arrived to see him, Maxi would drill me to the ground to make sure I get the various types of card tricks he knew. Despite his attitude, Maxi was actually strict in comparison to Monsieur Houdin.
Maxi made me realize that each magician had their own style of teaching as well as performing. While Monsieur Houdin was more versed on conjuring things that appear out of nowhere, Maxi was more capable of tricks that can deceive one's own thoughts.
Then one day, I decided to ask Maxi out of curiosity. "Why did you decide to become a magician?" Of course I only asked Maxi around the time he was willing to listen and answer me.
