More Magic Basics - Illusions

Continuing with a series of tips provided by www.MagicDB.net

Before jumping into working with illusions in your magic act, beware of dangerous illusions like the types Houdini did and steer clear of them at this point in time. Those are for professional who have a lot of experience and train and practice a LOT. Those types of illusions are not something to just jump into and get started with overnight.

Thinking more along the lines of safety first, here are
some tips about working with illusions in your magic act:

a) Basic props you might find handy for illusions include a magic wand (store bought or make your own), some brightly colored silk handkerchiefs, a coat or cape - or both - with many pockets.

b) Work your way up to hard illusions by starting with easy ones and mastering them. Then move on up to intermediate tricks, then advanced. And seek help form a mentor or coach in the magic industry for help as needed.

c) When you find illusions that work well for you, try to center your performance around the same props if possible. That way you don't have a table full of props on stage, taking eyes off you in anticipation of how you'll use the assorted tools.

d) Pick up books, articles, ebooks, workbooks and more with assorted magic tricks and illusions so that you can learn more of your craft. As you learn and add to the tricks, write up your own materials for other magicians, too.

And voila - you have more info for your magic toolbox!!! nd believe it or not, there are still many more things to take into account with magic tricks... So hang in there (not literally, of course!) and stay tuned for your next lesson where you'll learn more about beginning and harder tricks...

And don't forget...
