Are you good at some magic tricks? Do you want to be a good magician?
After reading this tutorial, you will know how to be a successful
magic performer (even if you never knew any magic tricks).


edit Steps1To start, watch other magicians do their stuff. Masters of
the art know what an audience wants to see, so pay attention to what
types of tricks and what styles modern magicians use.

2Now, learn some magic. Do not, however, buy a beginner's magic set
(unless you're a kid. Apply the stuff you learned from modern
magicians and decide what type of act you want to do. There are 7
kinds: street, close up, parlor, stage, escape, mentalism, and grand
illusions.
3Have some tricks of your own. No one wants to see an unoriginal magic
act being performed over and over. Of course, you should have some (or
many) old and famous magic tricks in your act (such as the cups and
balls). The public may enjoy some old classics (like the Miser's
Dream), but you should avoid certain old classics, like pulling a
rabbit out of a hat (instead make it appear in a box). Here's how to
think of your own original tricks (only do this if you understand the
process and working of magic): Think of an idea that has never been
done before. For example, make strings disappear from a guitar. Then,
decide how you will accomplish the effect. Now, think of a way to make
the trick convincing. Make some equipment, if necessary. You might
even need duplicate object with which you're working on. Once you've
got all the parts planned out, start practicing the trick.
4Develop a unique style of performing. Don't steal others' styles. You
may take an old (dead) magician's style and put a unique twist on it,
but never take a modern magician's style. It's better to have unique
style and perform previously performed tricks, rather than take
someone else's style and perform your own tricks.
5Get organized. Before performing a show, be sure to rehearse it many
times. You also might need to know how the room you perform in is
designed. If you're performing at a party at your friend's house,
that's not really necessary. Just make sure there's no one behind you.
Your equipment should be made properly. Be sure to check, if
everything works. Also, try to merge several tricks together to create
a new effect. For example, after you turn a ball into a tissue, make a
coin appear out of the tissue; then, make the coin go through your
hand...
6Make your own equipment. If you can't produce your own equipment, ask
some of your friends to do it for you, or go to a magic store or
website and buy the equipment. Also, you might consider making people
to help you as your assistants during your tricks (You already gave
away the secret of many tricks to them, so why not make them part of
the show?).
7Get a good costume. A traditional costume for magician is a black
jacket, a red formal vest that goes under it, and a pair of black
pants that go with the jacket. The jacket should have many little
pockets on its inside for storage of secret coins, cards, balls, etc.
The vest should have big pockets on the inside so you can make big
objects, such as plates, disappear/appear. And pants should have two
pockets, one on each side. The pocket should be long and made under
the folded part of the pants. Also consider using the same basic
outline of the costume to create a more modern one. One thing is
certain you should dress a little nicer than the people you will be
performing for.
8Improve the flexibility of your arms, fingers and hands. Start with
coin manipulation. It's easiest to master, but is still hard. You'll
find links to helpful websites in external links section of the
tutorial. Anyway, back to coin manipulation. Learn how to palm the
coin on your hand. Find a spot in your palm where the coin will stick
the most even if you open/close your hand, or turn it upside down.
Then, learn creating illusions (like pretending to put an object in
your other hand when really its still located in the first hand).
After mastering coin manipulation, you can move on to ball
manipulation and, finally, card manipulation.
9 Make it fun!Develop some artistic talent and sense of humor. Try to
narrate or tell a story with your tricks. Be very humorous and funny
(unless your style is to be mysterious or serious). If your magic act
is boring, no one would want to watch it. You might also want music
playing during your act, just to make it more exciting. Sound effects
would be cool too. But do not make an act with only music and no
talking.

edit TipsNever warn the public about what you're going to do in your
act (unless it's part of the plan to fool the public), or *Never show
the same magic trick right after doing it the first time, no matter
how much the audience begs you. Only exception would be if you know
another way to do the trick.

Never explain the secret of the trick (this is exposure and harms
other magicians) to anyone just to show off your "mad magic skills",
cause it can spread pretty quickly. If you plan on writing a book "100
Best Magic Tricks Explained", that is alright because it will only be
bought by magicians and those with a sincere interest in magic. People
who just want to know the secret will go on the net, they are too
cheap to buy an actual magic book.
Never perform the trick if you haven't practiced it enough. You have
to be an expert in your tricks and they should be very easy for you.
If the tricks are hard to perform, don't rely on your luck.
Don't be embarrassed if you mess up in front of your public. If you
can't fix it without anyone noticing, just play along with your
public. Laugh with the crowd as if the trick was planned to be
unsuccessful, then move on to the next trick without making any
comments on last one.
Never argue with the audience. If someone makes a negative comment
(for example, "I think I saw an extra penny behind your back!"), don't
be distracted. Just ignore the comment and continue the trick. Be
humorous and only answer public's questions/comments (if necessary)
after you're done with your trick.
Practice a lot. So you don't suck like BO, because nothing stinks like
BO. The more you practice, the better your tricks will be. Don't just
practice once, rather every day for a week, month, or however long it
takes for you to COMPLETELY master the trick. You can even practice in
front of a mirror to see what it will look like in front of the
audience.
Speak clearly. Try talking with a pencil in your teeth to help
enunciate your words more. You might also consider using a mic so
people can hear you better. Lapel mics are great and they free up both
hands.

edit WarningsNever perform a trick if you haven't rehearsed it
properly. You have to have a trick mastered when you're performing
it.
Do NOT whatsoever, and I really mean this,do NOT teach anybody your
big amazing tricks. (The tricks that aren't that big of a deal like
making a ball vanish you can teach if you want to but just not your
big amazing tricks) Have fun!!!
