TIPS ON BEGINNING TO LEARN MAGIC

2005-05-18T11:32:00.000Z

TIPS ON BEGINNING TO LEARN MAGIC

I’m often asked what the best way to start out in magic would be and I’m sure it can be different from person to person, but looking back at my own introduction (I’ve got a very looooong memory), gives me some ideas about what can be done and probably more importantly, - what to avoid.

I think the most important thing to do when just starting to dabble in magic is to learn a few simple tricks that can be done without having to use any gimmicked apparatus or special props. Although, I think like most people the first magic I got was by way of a Magic set.

Unfortunately the typical Magic Set is usually made up totally of “self-working” tricks, with trick cards and boxes etc., none of which can be examined by the audience after the trick has been shown and so there’s the problem and worry of having to hide your tricks as soon as you finish each one.

For a beginner this creates a problem, especially among friends and classmates, who are always desperate to examine the magical props and try to find out “how it’s done”.

So that’s why I suggest learning some simple tricks with ordinary everyday objects that can often be borrowed and then freely handed out for examination.

This really adds tremendously to the magic and of course as you’ve heard me say before, - “the simple effects are the ones that are usually the most stunning to the audience and in my experience, get the best response”.

As you’ve already heard, I started with a little magic set, but very quickly the family friend whom I called Uncle Dick, showed me how to vanish and produce coins and small objects and I have to say, at that time I thought this was real magic.

So although, like most parents, I bought my own son a magic set, I also taught him to vanish and exchange coins and several small objects, using the “French Drop”. So I would certainly recommend that one of the first things that you should practice, as a beginner, is just that (French Drop) and coupled with the simple Palming of a coin.

This will allow you to carry out a nice magic routine with borrowed coins etc. and will leave you “Clean” at the end of the effects. It will also get you out of difficulty when you are expected to do something magical.

Who Needs Expensive Magic Props?

2005-05-16T20:34:00.000Z

Who Needs All These Expensive Magic Props?

Many magicians think that to really entertain the public with magic they need to acquire lots of fancy, complicated and expensive magic props.

In fact, some of them firmly believe that the more complicated the prop or the more difficult the "sleight of hand" then the better the magic trick will be.

In actual fact, they couldn't be further from the truth!...

You see, we all have our opinions about how many things are done, even if we don't really have a clue. We like to think that we can work out some logical solution. This is just the nature of the human being.

Well Magic is no different...

However, the essence of magic is creating the miraculous or impossible and certainly good magic defies all logic, otherwise it wouldn't be magic.

Like everything else we're baffled or confused by, or that we don't quite understand, - we make assumptions about how magic tricks are done.

Also the audience tend to regard themselves as pretty knowledgeable and sophisticated and they assume that the tricks must be done by lasers or electronics or something really clever and scientific to fool someone as clever as them.....

When in fact, the Best Magic is usually very simple - and this is why it actually fools the audience.

You see most people are looking for and assuming that it's something much more complicated.

As I stated earlier, many amateur magicians make the mistake of thinking that the more complicated the "Sleight" or the move and the more intricate and scientific the gimmicked props are, the more they will fool the audience.

Well, they couldn't be more wrong!

So if you're an aspiring magician and seek to amaze, amuse and entertain your audience, remember that the audience are already assuming you're using some sophisticated electronic devices and complicated and difficult "sleight of hand".

Why not fool them completely by performing the best magic?....
That is, magic that is simple, easy to understand and defies all logic....

Take a look at The Magic Touch where all the tricks are old favourites that have been used by professionals for countless years.

You won't any fancy and expensive props. There's a host of great tricks with ordinary, everyday objects that will baffle and amaze any audience.
