Magic With a Smile – A Quick Tip to Get Better Reactions to your Magic Tricks

Smile

 

It’s such a simple and easy thing to do, but so many magicians forget to do something when they perform their magic tricks. Dominic Reyes talks about how to get better reactions to your magic tricks with this simple quick magic tip.

 

 

It seems just common sense, but It’s really easy to forget to relax and smile when you are performing your magic show. There is so much to think about during the performance. But reactions to the magic you perform can be directly proportional to YOUR attitude during the show. You need to make sure you put aside any stress’s or problems in your life, or simply that day. Every magician can have a bad day, bad news, or simply not feel 100% that day. A professional can’t let that change the service they give.

Before you start performing, put on a smile. Fake one if you need too… If you present yourself with positivism and a fun energy, your spectators will soak that up and reflect that back to you.

If you had a stressful journey to the venue that day. Take a moment to just find a quiet spot and practice your biggest smile. Look at it in the mirror and tell yourself you feel great and you are about to have a fantastic gig. That simple exercise is likely to transform your attitude and also the outcome of you gig.

How do you think your attitude reflects on the performance you gig? Do you have any techniques you use to be positive even when you might not feel like it? Share your tips om improving the reactions to your magic tricks below.

    So this is a great tip thanks, another thing I have found can help is actually thinking about the effect, to many magicians now learn effects, practice them and then perform them. This may sound fine but it is in the practice stage where they simply go over what they have learnt in the book or from online sources, I could make a bet that if you take one effect and go through the stages in a flow diagram thinking about where misdirection should be applied and what misdirection you need and also making the magic stronger by using certain principles (like false memories, lowering expectations etc, etc) your magic will become stronger and get better reactions by ten-fold. so if you have taken the time to read this just try it on one effects, I promise you’ll see a change.

      Great Tip Ben! A flow diagram is an excellent idea! It’ so easy to follow the process you learn at the beginning, without stopping to examine the structure of the routine, and how you could bring your own existing knowledge to it. There’s probably more value in doing this to a few of our existing routines, than buying batch of new material.

      I’d love to see one of the flow diagrams you have created in this process. If you want to send it in, I’ll create a post discussing it.
