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.

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.

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
