What da reason for this?

Hey Kieran, it's great to want to be better at magic, but I also want you to think about this: Is this really a competition between your friend to be better than him and make him look bad in comparison or do you just want to be better known at school? Because there are other approaches to that as well.

I think it will be a good idea to think about your main purpose of doing magic as well, which can really give you a reason for doing this.

Don't think that your reason is wrong or anything. I just think your friend needs a wake-up call and you can do that for him.

if you use competition as a goal for your magic... you're not gonna make a good magician imo... it's not like magic is your life yet, think of it as a hobby, and you'll soon lose your irritation when you two are compared( the goal that SHOULD be in your head is how YOU can amuse the spectator to your best, remember, it's about THEM not YOU)
