How Does One Become A Extremely Talented Magician?, Magicians Options

If someone wanted to become a extremely talented magician how would he go about it? Is 'talent' in the arts an aft form or can it be achieved through hard work and dedication? I believe my current magikal skill and ability is very limited as I have only done a few servitor magik rituals. I want to be very honest here and say I am extremely critical of magik and if it even exists. I have contemplated dedicating a entire life to this and gaining incredible skills but I just need to know it's real so that I know it is not a life wasted. I feel in myself I have been ignored by every entity that is out there as I have never had a run in with one and feel kind of helpless.
I have a question that goes out to the most respected on this forum in that if you were to start from the beggining where would you start to get the fastest results possible? my interests lie in evoking entities and servitor/egregore magik. Alot of my ideas in the past have been a little crazy but I really want to do this the right way and you can be sure your advice will be followed to the roots. Any tips?

Thank you and happy holidays.

The same way you become excellent at anything else, practice...
The more you do it the better you get.

I just want to say thank you alot for all of you're guidance and advice, i've noted them all down and I've been going through alot of the posts on this website and taking notes. I decided to purchase the book 'Modern Magick' By Donald Michael Craig to assist me. I saw it was reccomended by the site. I've just been going through the first chapters and spending ALOT of time on paying attention to detail and practicing hard. I think the book is really well done from what I've read so far. I made my own 'ritual diary' to note down all of my workings which I saw in the book.

I saw that the book has been purchased by a really large amount of people and a question evokes. Won't some of the spirits who are mentioned in the book be really ANNOYED if suddenly loads and loads of people are evoking them at once?! I mean it's like having to go up and answer the door 100 times a day it would be really frustrating. I have a deep interest in evocation but I don't particularly want to annoy the spirits and be another one of those 100. Is this the right mind set or do I have it wrong?
