The Card magic is special; you can’t do it unless you practice a lot. In addition, you need a little bit of talent, because hard work combined with native skills can turn you into the Card master in no time. A famous magician says that most people who want to do Card tricks don’t have the necessary patience for this, so they don’t practice as much as they should. Others, on the contrary, get bored while practising because they don’t know how to do it. Whatever the reason for quitting might be, the main idea is to keep working on it and you will get results. Also, there are some tips that can help you, the aspiring magician, to learn amazing Card tricks. If you use them, practicing tricks will become your number one hobby.
How can I learn easier and faster?
The answer to this question is simple. Here is a list with some ideas.
1. Your learning source is important
If you are learning from Youtube, make sure that you are watching tutorials posted by experts. You can watch them for free, but you won’t have the same high quality standards presented by specialists who offer their expertize for money. Choose wisely, because you will be doing these tricks for a lot of time. Your success might depend on how much are you willing to invest.
2. Your finger’s position is important also
Even if you are talented, this is not enough. The finger position is essential when you are doing a card trick. You can learn more about this during practise.
3. Slow motion practice will help you see everything more clear
Slow motion practice is very important for card tricks. It helps you see details and understand how and where to place your fingers if you want the trick to be successful. Also, it helps you measure time and see how long it will take for each movement, because in this type of magic seconds are the key to success.
4. If you practice in stages, you will become better every day
Card tricks experts say that an illusion is successful if it goes through several stages: research and development, mechanics and experimentation and, finally, refinement and polishing. This means that, before you perform a trick in front of an audience, you must do your homework and learn as much as possible about it. Afterwards, you have to understand how it works and practise it. Once you have figured it out, you step into the next phase: you try to become better and better by practicing it every day. Finally, after you learn it by heart, you can relax; the public will love your trick!
Last, but not least, you should be patient, even if you don’t succeed at first and to practice your tricks in the mirror. You can see how you look while doing them, but also what the audience will see. Your expression and state of mind can tell your public if you are having fun while performing the tricks or if on the contrary, you are frustrated. Non-verbal language can ruin a good magic act, so be careful and practise that also.
