Tips for aspiring magicians when performing magic tricks

Do you feel impressed and stunned when you see a magic trick? Do you hope to become a wizard one day? You’ve always loved magic tricks. Every toss of the magician’s card, every coin that disappears and every bird that flies out of the magician’s hat leaves you spellbound and breathless. After each riveting performance, you go home wondering about trying your hand at magic tricks, and now you’re ready to give it a try.

Don’t let your lack of experience or lack of funds put you off. Even skilled and famous magicians had to spend long hours of practice and sacrifice to become the best at their craft. Becoming a magician requires hard work and genuine passion.

With your creativity, ingenuity, and the right attitude, you can find the right equipment and free training to develop your report. As your skills improve, you can add more complex magic tricks into your performances.

Many websites offer free instructional videos and step-by-step guides on how to perform magic tricks. Some magicians even offer to share some trade secrets with magic enthusiasts.

If you can’t make the materials or equipment you need yourself, consider purchasing them from magic shops. If none are available near you, check out the ones you can find online. Most of these online stores offer discounted prices on magic sets that are often sold with instructions and how-to videos.

Online magic shops are always up to date with the latest magic trends. A current favorite is Wayne Fox-Trick’s Knock out Prediction Outdone. Your viewers will be amazed at how you can cut any card the participants cut, no matter how they shuffle the cards. You can perform the trick immediately and be ready to delight in the astonished faces of your audience.

Some proven bestsellers are also available online, such as Peter Eggink-Trick’s Ghost-Tag. This tag with its creepy “dead grandpa” photo reveals your spectator’s card selection. The “Ghost Tag” can be chained on your keys and is always ready to scare your audience.

Online trick shops sell a wide range of equipment and supplies: card magic, coin magic, bizarre, comedy, mentalism, stage magic and many more. They also sell reference materials such as books and DVDs.

However, you should keep in mind that the success of your magic does not depend only on your equipment. It doesn’t matter if the equipment you’re using is top of the line, if your execution is lousy, your magic tricks are bound to fail.

Through practice, diligently work each part of your magic trick until your hand movements become natural and effortless. It’s also great for practicing your tricks in front of a mirror. This will make you see how you look while performing your magic tricks and will help you build some much-needed confidence in your first public performance.
