Keep the Secret a Secret
The fun of magic is mystifying your audience. If you tell how a trick
is done, the mystery and excitement will be gone.
Do the Trick Only Once
The first time you show an audience a trick they will be surprised at
what happens. If you show it a second time they will know what to
expect and be more likely to figure out how you did the trick.
Practice Before You Perform
Make sure you are comfortable with the trick before you perform it for
an audience. Spend time practicing each part of the trick. When you
practice it is important to say what you are doing, just like when you
perform the trick. Remember to be dramatic and excited. You are
putting on a show!
