Getting Started in the Art of Magic

Since the beginning of time humanity has been fascinated with strange occurrences, the paranormal and anything considered “magical.” Magic has been the inspiration and plot for many stories throughout time, and it never gets old. Everyone wants to believe that there is something else there; therefore, they love to watch those who seem to exhibit proof. What if you could be the person who offers that proof? That is the art of magic of a magician.

Magic is a very rewarding hobby, and not just in terms of financial gain. It benefits everyone who takes part-both the audience and the magician. It can take those who watch back to a childlike state of wonder and amazement and make them forget daily troubles. It allows them to go into another world, a world where magic indeed does exist, and as far as entertainment arts and hobbies go, magic is one of the few that accomplishes this. Magic can also break down language barriers and cross cultural lines. There are so many good things about it that I could go on forever, but you are probably waiting to find out how does one get started in this wonderful hobby, and what does it require?

If you are interested in magic, the first thing any practicing magician will tell you is to read some books on the subject, and I would agree with that. First head to the library and check out as many books as you can find. Don’t worry if the books seem childlike or for younger kids; you will most likely still find some great things for beginners, and many people tend to overlook those kinds of books, way too often. You will want to learn some of the basic tricks from those kinds of books before moving on. Every magician starts out this way, and it works.

Once you learn some of the basics and have found some tricks you like, the first thing you will want to do is to perform them right away but DON’T. This is a mistake that many aspiring magicians make. This method overlooks one of the parts of learning that a lot of children or beginners overlook, and that is practice. Practice really is key to a magician’s performance. None of the greats reached their point of expertise overnight, but by many days of practice. However, practice does NOT have to be boring; it can be fun. If you have friends or family willing to help, practise with them. If another person isn’t available, a full-length mirror works about as well. Some tricks may seem difficult at first, but just remember to keep trying until you get it down smoothly and until you can perform it, while, talking and doing other things at the same time.

Then comes the performances. At first you may just perform the magic in front of family and friends, but your confidence will grow (as you practise and perform more), and soon you will be comfortable performing before anyone anytime. So keep practising and performing and trying tricks that work for you and that fit your personality.

Many of you who are reading this have tried this approach, perhaps, when you were younger, or maybe even recently. And then you were lost. You asked, “Well, what now?” And there was never any easy answer. This is the reason many go through just the magic “phase” and get interested, but then stop and forget it. You didn’t know what to do or how to advance from that point. Really, though, you just have to look around as there is knowledge everywhere on how to continue. Search the internet, find a local magic shop anywhere. You can find tons of videos on magic online, and there are many great stores. However, the point is that the knowledge is out there, and once you get some basics down, then it is time to seek that knowledge.

It is imperative that you have a curiosity and a thirst for that magical knowledge, and you may not believe it now, but as you learn more, you will eventually begin creating your own tricks. That’s right; your very own, that you make all by yourself that is a very rewarding experience, and you CAN do it. Magic, like ANY other hobby, mainly just takes dedication. If you have a dedication to what you do, you can do almost anything you want. It takes a dedicated mind to practise and perform to boost your confidence. The best part of it all will come in the audience’s reactions; that is your real reward. When you see that person’s expression of amazement, of joy that is a priceless moment and makes all the practice worthwhile.

This in short is the art of magic. There is so much more to it, but this is an overview. If it sounds simple, so it should. It just takes a keen mind and a strong desire for knowledge. So if this interests you in the slightest, go down to your local library or magic shop, and start learning! It really is so much fun that once you get started, and I think you will love it as so many have before!
