Our Given Tips For Magic

  • Keep practising and practising infront of the mirror until you are convinced that you asre good enough
  • Keep performing to people where opportunities arise( be 'Thick-Skinned' )
  • Be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes
  • Relax and enjoy the trick that you perform
  • Don't rush to learn many tricks at one time

Eye Contact---A spectator will generally look where you look! Therefore, when doing a move you should never look at your hands. It is a good idea to look into the spectators eyes, whilst doing a secret move. This is better still, if you can say something to them at the same time, a funny line, perhaps! When you look directly at somebody, they will generally look back at you. If, however, they are determined to stare at your hands, they will still divide their focus between your hands and your eyes.... it's only polite, besides they can't actually help themselves, it's human nature!

Movement---Another method of misdirection used is movement. There is an old saying in magic "A large movement covers a small movement". If you are performing a trick that requires you to make a small mechanical move, do it as you are moving the magical item towards the spectator or putting it down on the table. This "large" movement of moving the object, will make to smaller movement of your fingers invisible. Be aware that this need not be done quickly, in actual fact, this large movement makes such good misdirection that it can, and should, be done at a natural pace. Try it with one of your tricks, and watch the move become invisible yourself!
