Magic, Showmanship and Confidence

By Kimi Petrello


A lot of times for a beginner and young magician when we're preparing to raise into that stage, we tremble too much. Such a thing happens to me each time last time. But right now, I do have overcome this trembling after learning these hints. They have reduced the problem tremendously in my magic show. This article is on the subject of method to gain confidence on your magic show. This really is perhaps the most important part of becoming a great magician.

Confidence comes through knowledge and confirmation. You'll want to be certain of all things will be fine. If you haven't practice enough, your brain is going to take over and then your confidence will drop. However, if you happen to practice hard enough, you'll have confidence. It is all concerning your mind.

Confidence is a lot more of a mood and psychic condition more than the amount of you practiced. You have to inject the mood to feel confidence. Another point you will have to remember is don't be concerned too much. Completely stop thinking about your audience.

Develop presentation that fits your style, this really is where your confidence will boost. Should your presentation is a thing that suits you, you then become much comfortable because that presentation is all about being you.

As they say, practice makes perfect. Let's pretend you happen to be practicing a sleight. Do it repeatedly, the task will come as an auto pilot for you. You don't need to focus on the sleight. This can increase your confidence. You can easily concentrate on your presentation this way. The best way would be to practice and rehearse everyday so the presentation will come as automatic to you.

As a magician, we do have typically what we call a bad day. If you happen to get no response from the audience, it is not necessarily a failure. It's simply called feedback. Think of it that way. Take advantage of this feedback to help you to improve your presentation.

Know what to do in the event you mess up! Have always a backup plan. Come up with several ways to get out of a situation when something fails. This will certainly help in your confidence as well.

Magicians often overlook this, but plan when you'd like an applause or another reaction out of your audience! If you didn't plan, a sudden audience reaction can ruin your timing. Consequently, this can disturb your concentration, and causes you to lose confidence. You'll want to let them know that they are allowed to react.The best thing to do is to simply pause while the audience react. If you fail to plan for any reaction time, you will definitely get a scattered applause. You certainly want to avoid that.

Finally, don't worry! Most importantly, be happy on your performance, if you make a mistake, just get on with the show. Nothing bad will happen. Just switch to Plan B.

If you desire in becoming a magician, head to a local magic shop or better yet, an online magic shop. They'll have la lot of advice as well as magic tricks to get you started with.
