One of the things that people are surprised to learn is how simple it is to learn some basic magic tricks. And because so many people are under the impression that magic is difficult and hard to learn, they are very impressed when somebody does do some simple tricks. If you've ever seen a guy doing simple magic tricks at a bar or a club, you know mesmerized everybody was around him.

Tricks that are performed in impromptu settings like bars, clubs or parties generally fall into two categories. If you want to be on TV or perform professionally, you'll need to study a bit more.

The first kind to learn is sleigh of hand tricks. These are any illusions which get people looking one way, where the real action is somewhere else. Card tricks, taking peoples watches (just make sure you give them back!) and simple tricks to use on waitresses (with great effect!) are all sleight of hand tricks.

The next kind is even more impressive, and even easier to learn. These are based on certain "cold reading" techniques that will give you the illusion of having psychic powers. These are based on simple mathematics and principles of psychology, and can really convince people that you have an inside connection to the spirit world.

By Miles Sunkest

Have you ever been to a party and somebody that looked like your normal, everyday guy pulled out a deck of cards, or maybe a couple of coins, and started doing some simple tricks? Well, you know what happened next. He was suddenly surrounded by guys and girls that suddenly completely forgot what they were talking about, and were now focused on this guy and his tricks. How would you like to be that guy?

One of the coolest things that most magicians keep secret is just how incredibly easy it is to learn most of these magical party tricks. Most people are under the impression that you need to practice for hours and hours, but this just isn't so. Just a couple of tricks can you on the fast track to instant popularity.

There are three kinds of magic tricks. Two of which you can learn fairly easily to get the ball rolling. The third kind of trick is the kind you perform on stage, and generally requires a lot more set up, and many times a lovely assistant. If that is your ultimate goal, then learning some party and bar tricks can be a great start to that worthy endeavor.

The most common and widely recognized kind of magic trick falls under the sleight of hand title. These are all card tricks, pulling flowers out of peoples ears, rabbits out of hats, and making things disappear, like some of the videos you may have seen on YouTube. These are much easier to learn than you may think.

The next kind of trick, which actually is more impressive, and much easier to learn at the same time are tricks that make you out to be some kind of psychic. Based on the principles of cold reading, mathematics, and psychology, people will be convinced that you have a connection on the other side.

When You Learn Magic Tricks, You Open The Door Into A World Of Happiness And Bliss

By Miles Sunkest

Do you remember when you were a kid, and you saw a magician perform some tricks? Maybe it was at a party, or on a stage down at the community center. Most kids are impressed at least a little bit, and make a decision to somebody learn magic tricks and become as good as this guy up on stage. However, most of us don't follow through on those dreams, and quickly give them up for other things that seem more important at the time.

However, because you are reading this, there is a strong chance that somewhere inside you still have a dream to be able to impress people with your magic. Either up on stage, or at parties with your friends, part of you still remembers how impressed you were with magic, and wants to impress others. I'll give you a couple of quick tips on how to do just that.

There are two basic skills that stop people cold from becoming good street magicians. One of course, is being able to do magic tricks. This is actually the easy part. If you've ever seen a magician reveal how he did a trick, you were likely surprised how easy it was. The actual physical activity required to pull of the trick is not really the magical part. The magical part involves being able to capture and lead their attention. Which brings us to our next skill.

Public speaking. Yes, you read that right. All skilled magicians also have excellent public speaking skills. In order to direct peoples attention, you'll need to develop what's called a "patter," or that mesmerizing speaking that magicians do while performing their tricks. Many magicians simply tell engaging and mesmerizing stories while doing their tricks, so everybody is watching their face, and not their hands.

These skills can obviously be learned. You just need to practice. Clubs, public speaking courses are a great start. Even though you, like most people, are likely deathly afraid of public speaking, it is a skill that can dramatically help you in virtually every aspect of your life. Even if you have no plans of ever doing magic, you should improve our public speaking skills.

These two "simple" skills may seem a bit daunting at first, but when you take the time to realize the powerful and positive effects you can have on people, and how much pleasure you can create, it makes it all worthwhile. The next step is to simply get started. - 30290

Magic Tricks And The Secrets Behind Them

By James Anthony

Anyone can walk into a magic shop and buy a magic trick. However, simply being able to operate the trick doesn't make that person a magician. The real magic trick is in creating the right atmosphere for the trick. Magic is a performing art. It isn't enough to simply do a trick; it is up to the performer to create the magic. The difference between a magician and someone who performs magic tricks is in the belief that the performer can create in his audience.

A magic shop that caters to professional magicians carries many illusions. Rope tricks, balloon tricks and card tricks are just a few which most amateurs can learn without much difficulty. The way in which the magic tricks are presented is what makes the difference. If you want to be convincing, take a look at the way that professional magicians present their illusions.

Comedy magic acts have become very popular in recent years. Many magicians will keep a running dialog of jokes and even appear to flub tricks only to perform more amazing magic tricks successfully. The way in which they distract their audience is to keep them laughing and they use this distraction to set up their illusions. One comic magician, famous for his card tricks, would appear to be staggering drunk. The illusion of drunkenness was the perfect foil to the dexterity required for his card tricks.

A general method for misdirection which has become increasingly popular is the factor of shock. This is a special skill perfected by magician such as Chris Angel. He can create an incredible suspense by apparantly putting himself in impossible and dangerous situations. In fact, some of these illusions do involve a possability of risk and definitely should not be tried by amateurs. Even with regulary preparation, some magic tricks which involves things like fire can go awfully wrong. A magic shop usually does not sell illusions involving danger to the non professional.

Before purchasing a trick from any magic shop, you should definitely decide how your presentation of the magic trick will be to entertain your audience while misdirecting them. Most audiences know that magic is not real, and just tricks, yet these people really want to believe magic is real. The real magic is in putting together a suspension of disbelief in the people you are performing to so that they relaly believe in magic, even if only until the end of the performance.

Learning the performance skills of an illusion is the easiest part of a magic trick. Instead creating an atmosphere bringing the impossible possible is the important part. Copperfield seems to spend an incredible time preparing his audience for the performing of one of his incredible illusions .... more than he spends performing the actual illusion. Kreskin the Amazing performs a mentalist act which he's able to make the audience suspend disbelief using subtle suggestions... a little like mass hypnosis. The Amazing Kreskin has written a great number of books and has often lectures police on the general use of way for recovering memories of witnesses and bringing out lies through the general observation of body language.

If you want your magic tricks to be convincing, look at the different illusions offered by your magic shop and consider how you would present them. Find an illusion that you know you can present in an entertaining and convincing way for your audience. Magic is a state of mind. - 30290

Casting Your Own Spells For The Best Results

By Kylie Johnson

Casting a magic spell is a complex task, with many results and repercussions that you may not expect, so you have to study the elements well before even attempting it. The basic principles are easy enough to understand by themselves, but these are complexly intertwined with one another.

That is why even if you do get what you want from the spell you have cast, it may come with "extras" that you are not prepared to deal with.

- One should not forget that when it comes to witchcraft, the moon has a big influence on it, and it is of utmost importance to bear this in mind at all times. One should not forget to time the spell that he or she wishes to do.

* Define your intentions
After you know what magic really is, state what you really want and what results do you expect. This is done before the spell is cast.

* Write down your spell
Writing down the words that you will be mentioning in your spell will help you make your thoughts stronger. It can even help you to develop rhymes to better memorize the words or come up with a chant. The latter will give you more energy.

* Prepare your tools
Your tools are vital in spell casting. You just have to remember that the tools should have no natural powers and that they will only be used as support. Even more, you have to bless it to purify it.

- It is a must to gather the tools that you need to use. By doing so, you would be assured that everything that you need in order to cast the spell is in place and that the tools that you would be using does not possess magic that is inherent. Tools give you the means to set the mood. Once done with the tools, it should be cleaned. Before casting the spell, you should not forget to cleanse as well as consecrate these tools.

To bring you your desires, spells should be cast during the full moon, to repel or get rid of what you don't want, you may have to wait for the moon to wane.

* Working out with the appropriate season
Aside from the moon, you also need to consider the season. There is always time for new things, maturing season, time to gain, and for rest and relaxation.

* The threefold law
The threefold law states that anything you give will go back to you three times more. So before casting the spell, consider if it is good or bad results that you want to return to you.

* End your spell with "In no way shall this spell reverse, or place upon me any curse, so let it be". Among others, remember that if you do not mean any harm, then do as what you please. - 30290

Let Your Fun Personality Shine When Approaching Women

By Brad Jackson

Hey, man. Maybe youve been trying to seduce girls for a time now and still get more rejections from really hot babes than you care to admit. And, I bet that if youre going to be perfectly frank about it, you havent really nailed a conversation with a girl you want to date, and ended up going after a woman who seemed more accommodating. If you are worrying about approaching women, particularly the difficult, beautiful ones that you truly want, you might be doing things wrong.

Now, you might tell me that your routine is good because youve seen it in action and it works! I will not argue with that. What I can tell you, though, is that the guys individuality factored in the equation more than the routine itself. Read on

Two Tricks to Approaching Women Without Being Creepy

1. Enjoy the Interaction

Approaching women doesn't need to be contrived or super serious. I understand you need to show dominance and all, but believe me, girls have their own ideas. As soon as you approach a hot girl with a determined, grim look on your face, she will turn on the witch switch and bust your routine on the spot. You see, women expect guys to come up to them with something thats supposed to make them feel giddy with excitement, but most of the time, the whole approach lacks individuality and another important element. FUN.

The thing is, if women like the vibe they feel from you, they will stick around. This means more chances for you to get their number with the promise of more fun times ahead. And I'm not simply talking about one woman here...

2. Be Fascinating

You can be fascinating without being a try hard. Show some talent, man! Most of the time, the good looking girls you meet understand most of the old routines anyway, so you have to bring something new to the table.

Now, it is time for action. Learn the tricks at the PUMA website and enjoy more success with women. - 30290

Care For A Little Voodoo?

By Kylie Johnson

The popular notion about voodoo can be quite scary; evil spells and cantankerous shamans who can turn you into a zombie; dead animals and wild bonfire dances to the beating of an ominous sounding barrage of percussions.

It is so far from what voodoo really is that practitioners will either just find humor in the misconception, or feel insulted by it.

Although many of them have tried to dispel the ridiculous portrayal of the religion created by popular media, there are still persistent and incorrect beliefs about voodoo.

These kinds of spells, that actually pertain to voodoo, are depicted by making use of pin dolls, zombies that are considered to be evil, sacrificing animals and people dancing all over their territory to the beat of the drums.

It is a belief system that can trace its roots in Africa up to ten thousand years ago, and can be found in many countries although mainly now in the Caribbean.

One may also describe voodoo as some kind of heritage, or even culture, in the form of dances or the arts, language, and it is beyond doubt that this is certainly not just all about rituals, as a lot of people may consider it to be.

But because of the non-Christian like tenets, the Voodoo took hold only in the Caribbean where Christianity (and all its branches) does not have as much influence.

It was stated that the followers of voodooism seek guidance from their oracle which taught them to defeat the French people and emerged victorious after the battle. In 1804, the people of Haiti received their independence.

In the west, the use of voodoo was not widely acknowledged and this concept was not even made public. However, even at present, voodooism is still considered to be very mysterious, and was said to have acquired certain parts of the Christians.

To show unity, Catholicism incorporated drums and melodies of voodooism to their church services. By the year 1970, they estimated that around 100% of the people of Haiti are already Catholics.

These punishments, like lashings done to the people who disobeyed and still practiced their African religion, were done simply because the colonizers perceived it as a way for its colony to threaten the system that these colonizers were able to establish during this period in time. - 30290

Great Entertainment For Your Party - Hire A Magician

By Andrew Edmonds

Whether you are organising a birthday, an anniversary, or maybe a barmitzvah, a party magician can step in to provide a memorable experience for your guests which will keep them talking about your party for months to come.

The size of your audience makes no different when hiring a party magician because he is able to adapt different types of routines to fit.

What does a party magician perform?

A party magician can provide intimate entertainment to small groups of people at a time for five to ten minutes, whether they be standing or sitting. Depending on the size of the audience the magician can perform for three hours if necessary. This is a very personalised type of entertainment and one that many people have never seen. If people are sitting for a meal the party magician can entertain between courses, giving each table its own little magic show.

If the audience is sizeable and there is only an hour to slot in the entertainment it may be better to have a party magician perform a cabaret show, thereby no one will miss out on being entertained. Cabaret shows are always fun and interactive with audience members being called up to help in the tricks. A cabaret show will not last any longer than an hour and is usually tailored to the hirer's needs.

For very small private events, like dinner parties, with less than fifty people, some magicians can also offer a parlour show. This is a middle ground between a cabaret and a close up performance whereby the magician will entertain in front of your guests at the same time and perform small intimate tricks, usually for no more than forty five minutes. This can be done in your own living room.

To see the sort of X factor that can be given to your party, check out the following video clip. - 30290

Making Simple Love Spells Work Their Magic

By Jo Archibald

There is a belief that magic could possibly have a great impact on the different events that one may experience, by means of magic, wherein a particular kind of supernatural force is made use of. The question that now arises is the relation of magic to what people consider to be as spells for love, which is widely used in order to bridge the gap between two different individuals.

The relation of magic to love spells has been the root of curiosity for many. To most, magic is considered as a form of art that mixes old practices and beliefs with divine forces or energies. When a person who practices magic discovers his or her ability to control divine powers, this person then becomes capable of using magic to make changes in the world.

This brings us to love spells. Simple love spells are rituals that a practitioner uses on his love life. Needless to say, using love spells can help provide solutions to problems that take place in a relationship. In this regard, you can bring back love, or get a new one, heal the pain, and many other things related to love.

In addition, the love brought upon or enhanced by magic brings a beautiful experience. But still, one should remember that what is cast will surely bounce back. This just implies that when you give goodness, good things will come in return. But if you just have showed evil things, worst things might occur.

Love spells also pave the way in order to make love even closer, to the point that it is able to enhance their love, in such a way that they are able to deepen their relationship and in turn become stronger.
However, one should always take into consideration the intent, with regard to what you actually want to happen. This intent would allow a person to ascertain as to what the possible outcome of the spell may be.

Also, there is a need for you to comprehend the meaning of every ritual or act that you use, along with the energy frequencies. The efficacy of a spell would depend on such factors, as well as your state of consciousness.

This basically means that you need to have faith in what you do. If you don't, it will not work. Therefore, you would need to understand the origin and tradition of love spells because if you do not know these, it will weaken your ability to perform magic.

The true and most effective realization of love spell depends on the intention and intuition of the one using it. These two concepts, together with the right understanding of magic, will surely make each spells come to reality.

In addition, instructions are not just the ingredients that make a successful love spell. Following them is not just the aspect that is considered in spell casting. Though it still plays a vital role, the practitioner of magic should combine it with one's belief in magic and honest intentions. It will even be better to learn more about magic and divinity to provide proper knowledge on what one is doing.

Before getting started with the simple love spells, you should go back to the basics and this includes getting a good understanding of magic and divinity. There are many online resources available, do your homework and study them well. Thereafter, you can go ahead and try out some simple love spells which you can use to help you in finding or keeping the love of your life. - 30290

Hiring A Magician For Your Wedding - Pros And Cons.

By Andrew Edmonds

I discussed in a previous article what you should be aware of when hiring a magician for your wedding. In writing that article I assumed you had already decided that a magician is what you wanted, the help I gave was in finding the right one.

In this article I will discuss WHY you should be hiring a magician and the advantages and disadvantages in doing so. Now, of course, I am slightly biased given that this is my line of work, but I still think I can put forward a case for the conjuring community.

Let's start by remembering the fact that throughout your wedding day you will be the centre of attention, and so naturally your mind will not always be on the general welfare of your guests, especially during the photos where you will likely be occupied for a couple of hours. This is where a magician can step in to add that extra dimension to your guests wedding experience and give you peace of mind knowing that they are in good hands.

A good magician can be very versatile and slot in during any part of your day.

A magician can wow your guests during any of the following times

Photographs

The formal photographs can take up to a couple of hours with most of your guests left to idly chat amongst themselves. There is no better time than a magician to step in and provide an unforgettable experience,; a great ice breaker.

Wedding breakfast

Hiring a magician to perform at each table between courses, commonly termed table-hopping, is another popular choice thus helping to raise the atmosphere in the room as you and your guests applaud, laugh and cheer. Your wedding day will feel that little bit more special.

Evening reception

A magician can also entertain during the evening reception when all your evening guests have arrived and the party is in full swing. With formalities out the way this is usually a very relaxed part for all and having a magician entertain can provide a very memorable experience for all. A magician can mingle with guests and even perform a small show which will always include the wedding couple.

So, that's the pros in hiring a magician, what about the cons.

Firstly, the cost. Hiring a decent professional close up is not cheap and would usually set you back in the region of five hundred pounds for a couple of hours. If you have the budget, then do it.

You also have to consider that booking a good, no great, magician, with a lot of experience and great testimonials AND the right personality will likely take you time to find. I cannot stress how important it is to find the right magician for your big day. Yes, it will take some research on the internet, a few phonecals and maybe even seeing a few in action at some wedding fayres, but it will be worth it to take away the stress on the day knowing your guests are being entertained as you wish them to be.

So, in conclusion, if you have the money and time to find a magician that you know will meet the expectations you have then book one. For years to come your guests will likely talk about "that magician" which will bring a smile to your face. - 30290
