MAGIC TIPS !

Magic Tips: Technique :

The secret behind Magicians is the Practise, practise and then practise some more!!

There are two main areas to technique. The first area really is to learning the trick so you can perform it without actually concentrating on the moves. The second area is that of controlling your audience, and this is known as misdirection.Misdirection is actually as important as the PHYSICAL moves of the trick as it actually causes the audience to look at something other than the hand that is doing the move. This can be achieved using a number of methods.

EYE CONTACT an audience will generally look where you look! It’s a good idea to look into the spectator 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! It's a human nature and it's only polite, besides they can't actually help themselves, that 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. MovementIf 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.

The very last thing!Remember, it is more important to entertain than to baffle your audience! The more interested they are in you, the less interested they are in trying to spot your secret moves or making you fail. If they like YOU, your JOB is much, much easier!
