Having Fun And Earning Money With Magic
If you enjoy doing magic, consider coming up with cool tricks to perform in public.
It's helpful if you have some kind of performance background, but if you don't, take a community college course or join a local theater group to develop a stage presence. A class might teach you presentation, timing, and use of props.
Join a magicians' group, either locally or one of the many available online. The Magic Classroom is a free online community where you can connect with others, ask questions, and view video performances and tutorials. You can ask a local magic shop owner for advice or props.
Create a character that will fit your personality. You can be bright and funny, or dark and mysterious. You can study a range of magicians online or through DVDs. If you go for one look and it doesn't feel right, try something else. Eventually, you'll create a stage name and costume that fit your character.
Now it's time to learn and perfect the tricks of the trade and create an act. You can do this online or with books. Use the mirror to practice your presentation, then ask a friend or family member to help you rate your best tricks. You'll want to put together a show that's 30 to 40 minutes long and keeps moving. Beginning with basic tricks is the best bet. The show should be simple, straightforward, and east to understand.
You want to be natural and confident so practice a lot. Always have some trick with you to practice. You can also practice when watching television.
The key to becoming a good magician is mastering slight of hand, the skill of palming an object without telegraphing the movement to the audience. Watch a DVD with an expert and copy his moves. Do it in front of a mirror once you know what you're doing. Do it until it comes naturally.
Grab the attention of spectators by making your first tricks flashy and visual. The best trick should be the last trick. Develop a script to deliver during the performance, which will both entertain and distract the audience from concentrating on just what you're doing to pull off the trick.
Before you start charging a fee, you'll want to ask friends and family to watch your show and offer feedback. You should ask a magician in the area for a critique.
If you have fun, so will your audience. That is the real magic secret.
