Learning magic tricks can be a great fun. Many people start learning simple card tricks, and end up as full blown professional magicians, entertaining thousands or millions of people all over the world. But everybody has to learn the basics first.
If you want to learn how to become a magician, just take it one step at a time. Don't try to learn too much in a too short time. Focus on learning a few tricks in details before learning more complex ones.
You can start with easy magic tricks, such as:
*Card Tricks
*Cut & Restored Newspaper
*The Amazing Floating Note
When you have become good at such tricks, you can easily turn to more complex tricks, like:
*Levitation
*Impromptu Cigarette Vanish
Please keep in mind that you will not become a professional magician overnight. Like with everything else in life, first you have to learn the basics. You must build a strong knowledge base before you dive into anything more complicated. Otherwise you will end up with bits and pieces of knowledge, but don't know anything well.
Here is a great tip for you. You can practice your magic tricks in front of the mirror, but if you can, use a video camera to record your performance. That way, you can both see and hear how you appear to your audience, and you can also use it to see what mistakes you did, and what parts of your act must be refined. Keep doing this until you are satisfied with your performance.
What do you think most magicians fear most? You guessed right! That their act will go wrong, or they will mess their show up because their nerves let them down. Therefore make sure you can almost show your magic tricks blindfolded, before showing them to a crowd of people. But just enjoy yourself and entertain your audience, maybe that is the biggest Magic Trick of all!
