My First Interactive Magic Trick

Ben — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:00:37 +0000

Check out my first attempt at creating an Interactive magic trick. I made this one a few years back after seeing an email card trick using the same effect. Stay tuned for my newest interactive video coming later this week. In the meantime, let me know what you think of my old video (:

PS: If you figure out the trick (great job) don’t ruin it for the others that are watching along with you.

Magic @ 6 Degrees

Thank you to everyone that came and saw me at 6 Degrees Restaurant and Bar on Saturday night. I had a really good time. It was a packed house the entire evening. I especially want to thank the owners and staff for letting me share my magic on their Grand Opening weekend. The staff did an excellent job. I heard nothing but good things throughout the entire evening.

If you missed the show this time, stay tuned because I have a feeling I will be back real soon. I will be posting pictures from the event later today.

For the Kids

The reaction I get from kids is the number one thing that keeps me going. Seeing their eyes light up when I perform is priceless.

Suspense

The hardest part about performing a new trick is keeping the suspense alive. Sometimes magicians can get excited about the ending and rush to the end of a trick. I must always remember that keeping the spectator guessing is the key to a great trick. If the audience knows whats coming next, then they will start to lose interest. The key word is the Prestige.

What’s My Secret

The secret to being a great magician is the ability to pay attention to your surroundings. When i perform, I notice everything that is going on around me. I watch body language and I listen to conversations, all while performing a trick. I must stay alert and ready to adapt to any surprises that may arise during my performances. You must stay confident and sure of your performance at all times. That is why practice is so important.

Magic is Art

Magic IS an art. The ability to take everyday objects and make them do extraordinary things right before a spectators eyes is truly an art. It is so rewarding bringing people of all ages and backgrounds together for one magical event that leaves them all thinking the same thought. How did he do that?
