Magic Secrets And How To Do Tricks
Are there "magic secrets?" You bet there are! But, these secrets are not so much in the trick, as in how you learn to subtly "deceive" people.
Sometimes a simple trick, performed by a street magician, can be more impressive than the most costly TV-show.
You think you can see everything, there is no possibility of technical wizardry as on TV.
This makes it possible to impress and astound your friend!. When a street magician makes the impossible seem real, you are close to him. Since you can look at everything, and walk around him, you think you can see there's no hidden trap doors or cabinets, for example.
It seems impossible not to have his magic tricks revealed simply by looking!
You can do the same. The hidden secret to a magical trick is this - it is the magician himself!
Most magical tricks are not new, they have been round for a long time, hundreds of years and in some cases even longer. And when a trick - a card trick, for example, or a coin trick, is analyzed in detail - the trick itself is usually not complicated at all.
The trick lies in how the magician presents it! The presentation of the trick is what makes it baffling.
For example, you can ask the audience to name a number, and you pull out a card from the bottom of the deck, one at a time, until you come to the number that has been said, and then you pull out an ace! No matter what number is said this will happen.
The secret is ever so simple - the ace should be at the bottom of the cards, held by your little finger. Obviously, you will need to learn to do this so it is not visible to your audience by practising. To have your magic tricks revealed by mistake, because you are clumsy and drop the card, is not very magical ...
Equally important is to distract the attention of the audience slightly -just by talking you can keep their attention off the pack and stop them from trying to analyze your movements.
This is very much like what happens if you drive a car and talk on your mobile at the same time. It has been proven that people react slower.
Probably the brain can only focus effectively on one thing at any one time, and that is what will help fool your audience.
But remember - magic tricks revealed are not magic! Keep them secret and only ever discuss them with other magicians!
