I'm Shy Doing Magic Tricks For Friends

Shy Doing Magic Tricks

I asked Scott: What are you struggling with right now?

Here’s how he replied:

I’m an older guy, but a beginner magician. In my professional life, I present material in front of crowds and run meetings all day long – and fearlessly. But, when it comes to debuting my new little magic trick to friends I am uncharacteristically shy – I can’t bring myself to do it.

This failure to perform is affecting my practice, since it’s non-motivating to spend hours on a trick no one will see. This lack of confidence also leads me to over-thinking – is the patter right, what other tricks should I link it to, etc.

Just spelling out the problem gives me stuff to think about, but I was touched by your request and thought I’d make myself respond.

Thank you for any thoughts you have, Scott

Scott talks in front of a crowd professionally, and runs meetings all day long… But in those situations he is a different person. He are in a professional role, playing a ‘part’.

Many of us become shy doing magic tricks for friends, because they see us differently. We are seen and treated differently by different groups of people… Our friends see through the magician BS.. We are laid bare.

Your friends know you don’t really have powers.. They feel comfortable heckling you. Why shouldn’t they? There’s no need for them to play by the same rules that your audience or meeting members have too. Their social norms are different..

All this can throw magicians off their game, and it’s usually why beginners struggle.. The toughest audience is our family and friends. Ironically, that’s the very audience most beginners face first of all.
