“Magic Basics”
Before you jump into doing magic tricks, there are some basic instructions and points to keep in mind:
1) Think safety first. Some intermediate and advanced magic tricks have elements of danger in them. So use caution and seek help and advice from an experienced Magician for help. Also, use caution with what is called street magic, especially if you are under 18 (seek permission from your parents or guardian first).
2) New costumes, new tricks, new anything…doesn’t always mean better. Focus on details and the old stuff can work just fine.
3) Don’t do trying to imitate tricks you’ve heard about or seen on television or at the movies like tying yourself up and immersing yourself under water, lighting yourself with fire or any other such unsafe practices. Leave this stuff to pros who thoroughly research and test each aspect of the trick before taking the plunge into such serious waters.
4) You’ll need to develop stage presence and a poker face as you grow your magic business. So start being more alert to how others are in their performances for tips that can help you.
5) Take time to study the craft. And get a mentor or coach as needed.
6) Start with a simple routine and grow your act. Come up with an opening, middle and closing and find smaller parts to insert to vary your act for different audiences – maybe use different props, different costumes, different helpers, etc.
7) Practice, practice, practice. Even if you fail at something, pick yourself off and keep going. During a performance, keep pacing yourself and move to the end. People often overlook one messed up trick when they have many more eat ones to focus on throughout the entire presentation.
As you can tell, there are many things to take into account with magic tricks…
So stay tuned for your next lesson where you’ll learn more about how it’s all in the act…
