magicThe Tricky Connections of Magic and Stage Presence

When a performer learns his skills, he knows that part of those skills is his ability to control his audience's interest. This can be done through perfect incorporations of confidence, focus, projections, facial expressions, attention, etc.

Along with any performer, magicians know how important it is to have stage presence. In fact, it is the single most elusive factor that they need whenever they perform on stage or in any shows.

However, as simple as it may sound, acquiring or
learning the art of stage presence is no easy job. Acquiring stage presence involves a continuous learning process, where every magician should gain knowledge on combining all the needed skills in order to hook the audience's attention.

So for those who want to learn how to obtain stage presence, here are three easy steps that will definitely catch the audience's interest and keep them glued to their seats:

1. A good performer knows the role

When it comes to performance, those who knows how to portray their roles best are those that are greatly applauded.

Why? Because they perform as if it is their true personality. In this way, the audience will be able to feel the reality that exudes from every move and every word that the performer delivers.

For magicians, owning the role is defined on how he defines his character. A good magician should know where he gets his "power," convictions, thoughts, the things he has learned, etc.

2. Get real!

Stage presence is all about projecting reality. Even if 100% originality can't be achieved, the important thing in order for a magician to gain stage presence is to appear as real as possible.

Even if it has been a well-known fact that magic is just an illusion, to create a realistic view on stage is one area that will put the audience in astonishment and admiration.

Moreover, even if all the tricks of a magician are copied from the works of others, it is still important to create an original work that will distinguish him from the others.

3. Love the craft

Stage presence is all about learning to love one's craft. Therefore, magicians should learn how to love their craft by being knowledgeable on what they do. If the audience can see how expert the magician is, chances are, their attention will be more focused on the show.

Indeed, magic and stage presence is such an important combination in order to keep the audience completely glued to their seats.
