Magic is -not- a guild. Cardini, Vernon, Slydini, Houdini, Thurston,
Blackstone, Kellar..never had mentors.  The romantic idea of secrets
passed down like heirlooms is just that - an idea.

Mentoring for the sake of learning to selling yourself, marketing, and
maybe character development, i'll agree. No small business can be
without it. I only wish I had -that- advice when I first started.

Magic as a guild, protecting secrets, old masters - bull ****.  Seek
and you will find.

I love you Ray (in a non-homo way), this is the area were I cannot see
your argument for this issue.
