CARD TRICKS – ESSENTIAL MAGIC FOR BEGINNERS

Why is it that most Magicians use card tricks in their act? Did they start out entertaining in Gambling Dens and Casinos? Or is it that the 'card sharps' had to learn magic card tricks in order to cheat at Poker?

Whatever the reason, Card Tricks are an essential part of any Magician's performance. Some require difficult sleight-of-hand techniques, most just need you to distract your audience while you 'do the deed', many can be done in full view. A few need gimmicked decks or pre-prepared decks in order to work.

The marked deck is a rarity these days; after all, who needs to remember 52 different secret markings, all small enough to go unnoticed by the audience? Far easier to 'force' your victim to pick a specific card (she thinks she had free choice, but we know better!) then 'control' the card to the top or bottom of the deck where it sits until you magically produce it.

There are many kinds of magic tricks, but most fall into one of a few categories. Oftentimes, a magician will specialize in one or a few areas. For those who employ a range of techniques, they will often develop some type of persona or specialty act to differentiate themselves from other performers. Just as other entertainers often find a niche, so too do magicians.

While no type of magic is particularly easy, some types are common for beginning magicians, such as learning sleight of hand tricks. Most magicians know a core base of tricks, and then develop their particular repertoire from there.

Practicing magicians are very selective about who they share their secrets with. People who work with magicians are often required to sign contracts stating they will not share the magician's secrets with anyone else.

Coin Magic Tricks: In the Beginning There Were Coins Starring Jay Noblezada (free download)

"Most magicians's don't perform a lot of coin magic. They may know a few moves, but they don't take that next step and get to the point where coin magic is 'go-to' material. That's a shame because there are so many moments each day that a little coin magic could make into memories. Coins are everywhere. To master coin magic is to have a passport to entertain at a moment's notice, anywhere in the world." — Jay Noblezada

My Review

ANY magician, no matter what your main practice of magic, needs this. I have several other DVDs that have some of the same tricks, but NONE of them show the same handling, presentation and patter like Jay. This DVD really gets your mind working a certain way, and I can honestly say, after watching this DVD and with some practice you can do an entire coin show that will knock heads off. Also, after you learn some of these things, order "THE MUSCLE PASS" DVD. Between this DVD and the muscle pass dvd you will have trained your hand muscles and mind for most all coin tricks.

Get Your Magic Tricks: Try a Magic Shop

Magic has been around for longer than any other type of performing art and in fact probably been around for as long as we have. Magic was originally performed as part of the rites of worship, by religious leaders, to show how powerful a certain god and his priest servant were. These magicians invented the tricks and worked out how to do them themselves. They couldn’t just buy them from a magic shop, and they passed down the secrets of their tricks to selected apprentices.

 

In those days magicians were called witches or sorcerers, and their illusions were not considered to be magic tricks. The book ‘The Discoveries of Witchcraft, published by Reginald Scott in 1584, provided an explanation of how many of these magic tricks were done. It wasn’t only witches and sorcerers who used sleight of hand, but street thieves would also use it to steal people’s purses. Read the rest of this entry »
