Very useful information from an experienced magician
Ben has hit the spot on nerves.. Deep breathing is the key. Before I go on stage I loosen all my body by vigorously shaking my arms (like a dog shaking water after a swim) this helps to release any tension in the arms and hands, a few deep breaths , smile then … Perform.
