If you are
willing to put in a little time and patience then there are many magic
tricks for beginners that you can learn. Most don't require much effort
or skill to master. Certain tricks are all in the performance.
The first magic
trick that many beginners start with is the vanishing coin trick cards. The things
you will need for this trick are, of course, a coin and a table to place
it on. Place the coin in the center
of the table and try to attract an audience for the trick. It's
important with this trick, as in any magic trick, to be confident and
have a flair for showmanship.
Keep your middle, index and ring
finger close together, press on the coin and let it slide toward you.
You will use the three fingers to hide
the coin as you pull it in infrared contact lenses. Press the coin with your middle finger and
slowly pull it toward you. When the coin reaches the edge of the table,
allow it to fall into your lap.
Next press your thumb up against
your middle finger to give the appearance that you are holding
something. Keep your fingers close together and move your hand toward
you and away from the table. Make circular motions with your thumb as if
you are rubbing the coin. Slowly turn your hands out towards the
audience while spreading out your fingers. If you've done it correctly,
your friends will be astonished that the coin has disappeared.
This
is a very basic trick but is one of the many magic tricks for beginners
that anyone can do. You can pull this trick off without much practice
but as you attempt more complex magic you'll need to practice more and
more. You should always be trying to learn new tricks to add to your
repertoire but don't neglect to hone the tricks you already have in your
bag. There is no such thing as too much practice. You should also do
some research to learn rules of the trade observed by professional magicians.
One rule to keep in mind is never show the same audience the same
trick twice. This will give them too many opportunities to guess how it
is done. If they discover how a trick is done, they tend to be less
impressed by the rest of your show. You want to prolong the wonder and
surprise and build on that with
each successive trick. Also, you need to fight the temptation to tell
them how the trick is done. This may be especially hard if the audience
is made up of friends or family members. But keeping your secrets will
enhance your performance and their magical experience.
A
professional magician will never reveal his secrets, even the magic
tricks for beginners. Magic is based on secrets, deception and slight of
hand. The more you can keep your audience guessing the more entertained
they will be. The best tricks create a mystery that your audience will
be discussing and trying to solve for days after your performance.
