Magic doesn't have to cost money. You can do plenty with just a regular deck of bikes. If you want to do the whole table entertainer thing, start now- contact restaurants and see if you can get a gig, try it for a while. If you really think you can make enough to be happy (and provide your own pension) then stick with it. If not, go to college. Personally, I kinda think going to college just for the experience and networking is worth it but the money these days is getting silly and I'm questioning whether it's worth it at all. Most people never use their degrees. If you really want to do magic and you think you're really, really good at it (and if you're using DVDs and books as a crutch, I would question this) go and do it for a while. You could always go to college the next year, right?
