Improve Your Magic
We reveal 3 small touches that success magicians use to improve their performances with very little effort.
We're big believers that you don't always need more tricks! Today, we dive into three subtleties you can add to your magic right now that will significantly improve the reactions you get.
Improving magic is difficult. Take a trick you know or have recently seen and try to answer the question: how can you make it better? This exercise, which many great magicians practice, is invaluable to their growth as magicians.
Many times, improving magic has nothing to do with methods. It may sound redundant, but the best (and fastest) way to enhance any effect is to focus on the effect itself.
Sure – good, reliable methods are essential.
But the magic industry constantly churns out new methods, many of which have been perfected to such a degree over the years that it’s now quite difficult to improve them. We might buy all of the different method variations, but we often forget their true purpose: methods are merely tools to achieve an effect.
What’s deeply satisfying—and accessible to everyone—is working on the effect. Improving the effect doesn’t necessarily mean making it more fooling; it’s about making it more unique, more personal, and more “you.”
One of the easiest ways to achieve this is through “little touches”: minor adjustments or subtleties that don’t change the method but drastically enhance your magic. You can easily apply these recommendations to every effect you already perform to get stronger, more enduring reactions.
