Just what makes an amazing magician? Here are some tips and hints that could guide you as you pursue your goal of being an amazing magician. To start with you will need to study and learn everything you can. Yup, study. You assumed that you were finished with that when you walked out the doorway of your last school. Nope. To be great at anything demands a great deal of study and learning; and becoming a great magician isn't any different. Read anything you are able to get your hands on. Master your tricks inside and out. Learn all the variations, and as many different methods as you're able. Try to see the trick from the audience’s viewpoint. You must have an understanding of what the trick is trying to do to the audience.
After that you need to practice. Then practice more. And then practice even more. Your tricks should become 2nd nature to you. You need to be able to perform them without even thinking about it…because you won’t be. you will be concentrating on your “performance”, which is different, it is not simply the trick.
Finally, you should be a performer. All good magicians are great performers. Great magicians are Fantastic performers! By putting on an awesome performance it will keep the audience misdirected and distracted enough to pull of the tricks and leave them astounded!
