If the type of practicing you’re doing is just practicing
a move, you might want to consider listening to music or watching TV while you
practice the move. Both of these methods promote learning without looking at your
hands. As well as teaching your hands to do what they need to do without your
brain having to think about it. If this method is used and a certain level of
proficiency is achieved, you should always double check by performing in front
of a mirror afterwards.
Lastly, putting together a practice session (a list) that has the
order you going to practice things in, and how much you are going to practice
each item helps a lot. Have your practice session made up of practicing
different things. Possibly different
tricks.
For instance, I had three different tricks to work on,
but I also wanted more work on false shuffles. Now to just practice false
shuffles one after the other is very boring. So I did several false shuffles in
between each of the three tricks. So by the time I had finished a practice
session I had inadvertently also practiced my faults shuffles.
If you have access to video equipment, it is a good idea
to make a video of you performing your act. It is always very educational and
sometimes humbling.
