Professional magician Michael Fairall took a few moments out of a gig to record some advice for magicians beginning to learn professional magic. Michael talks about, keeping passion for your magic tricks, your commitment to developing your skills, and just how much time and effort you need to be prepared to put in, if you want to become a leading, professional, London Close up Magician.
Michael raises some very useful points in the video he filmed with us. To explore these further, check out the following posts:
The hardest part is by far point 1. After thousands of performances of the same trick it can get really hard to act like it is the most impressive feat of the night. I think by always learning knew material and switching up your routines every now and again it really helps keep things fresh and exciting whilst performing. Tom
ReplyDeleteHi Tom, yes that can help, but a stable well crafted act is also very valuable. It's all to do with acting, and we recommend taking some time to read up on acting skills as part of your magic training too. Thanks for posting!
