How Magicians Use Spectators Names to Their Advantage?

by Merchant of Magic Leave a Comment

Ben Williams Magician AdviceHow magicians use spectators names many times through a performance, quite a skill. We can all put it to better use..

As magicians, it’s very easy to focus all your attention on performing a magic trick, and forget that the tricks are not the most important feature of the evening.

‘WHAT!?! My magic tricks are not the star of the show?’

OK, they are important, and so is your performance, but to the spectators, everything you do, falls into second place behind one thing that is much more interesting to them:
Themselves

Ben Williams takes a few moments out from performing, to talk to you about ways magicians use spectators names to their advantage. With careful thought, magicians can take the most interesting thing in the world to each and every person, and spin it in a way to make their magic even more entertaining.

 
How do you do it within your own performances? Are there effects you perform right now, that you could adapt in some way to build in your spectators name?
Do you have any tips and advice on how magicians use spectators names to their advantage? How do you build in a ‘connection’ with your spectators? Please take a moment to leave a comment below.
