Guidelines For A Good Magician To Follow

Guidelines For A Good Magician To Follow



PRACTICE: Rehearse your magic trick several times before you show it to anyone. If you perform it with no rehearsal, you'll just reveal the secret or have the trick fail. If you ruin a trick in front of an audience, just go on to another trick.

SECRETS: Do not disclose how you did a magic trick to your friends; regardless of how insistent they are. You will lose the fun of doing the tricks once you have shared it to them.

REPEATING: Do not perform the same magic trick over and over again. When your friends ask you to perform the trick again, it implies that they were tricked that time, and they will try to observe your actions next time. Performing magic tricks is no longer fun if your spectators are not watching you. Thus, as soon as you finish a magic trick, don't go for an encor.

MIRRORS: Consider the convenience of using a mirror in practicing your trick/s. Practice your trick facing the mirror so that you get to view how you will look like when you face your audience.

TRICKS: Select the magic stunt you love the most. Not everyone can do all tricks extremely well. But practice can help one in nearing perfection in performing any trick. Here are some examples of card tricks:

Prior to a trick, get the deck of cards out with the purpose of showing the picture. It is not important which suits you will use (clubs, hearts, diamonds or spades,). Do not show to your audience how you arrange your cards. With the pack of card facing down, show your three card and put them on top.

To make this more interesting, you can include a "false shuffle" or act as if you're not certain if the trick will work. Of course, you are certain that it will because you have practiced it!

Have you tried to read using your fingers? Here's how it is done. Ask three people to jot down their names on a piece of paper. Preferably, choose two boys and one girl. Then, cut the paper in three portions, and drop them into a box. While eyes are blindfolded, a magician can pull out the paper with the girl's name on it.

How can you know which paper has the girl's name? Carefully touch the ends of the paper. The bottom and top names have only one ragged edge. Act as if you are having a hard time guessing which one is the girl's name, and your audience will believe you can really read using your fingers.
