 Guidelines for a Good Magician:
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 insistent they are. You will lose the fun of doing the
tricks once you have shared them.
REPEATING: Do not perform the same magic
trick 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 perform. Thus, as soon as you finish a magic trick, pretend that you are surprised.
MIRRORS: Always consider your viewers will perceive your trick.
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. No one can do all
tricks extremely well. Here are some examples of card tricks:
Prior to beginning a trick, get the deck of cards out with the
purpose of showing the picture, and set them up in order. 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 cards 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? Using this magic trick
will show that you can read by using your fingers. Ask three people
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 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.
