I'm pulling my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for under drive to work.

Okay, so today's topic was suggested by somebody on my blog. They said to me, you know,

I really have some friends. I love to play magic, but I have no idea how to teach the magic.

And so today's podcast is all about, okay,

how do you, a magic player, teach a non-magic player how to play magic?

what I call the barriers to entries about magic is,

it's an intimidating game.

You know, it's relatively complex when you add everything together.

And it is very easy for people on the outside to see their friends on the inside and go,

whoa, whoa, that's way too much. I'll never learn that. You know, it's not for me. And I've seen a lot

of people who I knew would even enjoy the game that they learned get really intimidated by it. And I've seen a lot of people who I knew would even enjoy the game that they learned

Now, that might sound, some people go to that.

Well, of course they want... No, no, no.

That's your priority.

That is more important than anything else.
