Im often asked what the best way to start to learn how to do magic tricks would be, and although it can be different from person to person, Im sure I can provide a few hints and tips that may help and probably more importantly, – what you should try to avoid.
I think the most important thing to do when just starting to dabble in magic, is to learn a few simple magic tricks that can be done without having to use any gimmicked apparatus or special props. I mean magic tricks that can be done using ordinary items that can often be borrowed and handed out for examination after the miracle has been performed.
This can be really stunning for any lay audience, as they are so used to seeing magic tricks and illusions on TV and video, where fancy and often expensive props are used and also where camera tricks and clever editing are used to create a more exciting TV program.
Im sure youre well aware that most magic can be purchased from reputable magic suppliers and youll also know that the cost of most magical secrets is usually very high. (Often very expensive)
So how can you possibly learn how to do magic tricks without spending a great deal of money...
