Entertaining Through Magic Tricks

There are many people who love to perform in front of others. Although it is common that you would see dancers and singers, there are also those who prefer to amaze their audience through the use of their magic tricks. If you are interested to learn the process, then you can start browsing the Internet for possible tips that may be useful for you in the process.

With most magicians, they simply have to make sure that they perform their trick the right way. Then the people would be amazed by the trick and keep on thinking how they were able to do it. You can also do this by learning through different articles and self help videos. You should also remember that practice is important if you want to get the best results when you are already on stage. This will give you more options and you can even practice more to make your tricks harder for the audience to know.

There are many individuals who are interested to know how the tricks are done. If you are one of them, you should try to understand the scientific concepts behind it so that you would also know how you can do it in front of other people. You will not have a hard time getting audience when you perform the magic tricks since the people are always ready and willing to see how the tricks are done and participate during the process. You should amuse them and keep them from thinking how to do the tricks and this is the basis of a good magician- having a good show.

Entertaining can be done if you know some magic tricks. You can do the tricks professionally or you simply have to break the ice in a party. There will be more people delighted with what is happening and you can feel more fulfilled as you get to see the audience happy or shocked by the tricks that you have just done. You should remember to practice so that you will not make a fun out of yourself when you are already performing. The smallest details should not be forgotten. Thus, you have to be very careful in performing your tricks and learning the magic tricks would not be possible for you overnight. Thus, you have to spend more time and even continue practicing so as you get to be so familiar with the tricks. After which you understand the concept behind the tricks, it would be easier to make your own tricks and have them personalized.

You should not worry about those who do not approve of the use of magic tricks but you should only put in mind that all that you want would be to entertain your friends and other important individuals.

Make Your Own Magic Tricks

You may know popular magicians that are able to allure many audiences because of their unique and complicated magic tricks. If you are also an aspiring magician, you would want to learn how they perform their tricks and how they are able to make it as if it was done through the use of magic. But just like any other thing that must e learned, you have to start with the simpler ideas and information before you can actually learn the more complex tricks.

To start, you have to observe how they perform the tricks. You have to try to understand the magic tricks so that you will also learn how you will be able to perform them the right way. You have to practice the tricks for many times so that you would really be familiar with it and doing it in front of other people would not be too difficult.

If you can observe, there are many tricks that make use of a certain apparatus or material that can help the magician with their magic tricks. Often this is the one that creates deviation and shift of interest of the audience. You may be amused by how these apparatus work magically but when you check the concepts behind it, they actually consist of the simpler concepts. This article can give some samples of these concepts and you can simply tweak some of the ideas and make it look more complicated. But if you have fully learned the basic ideas, then tweaking them into something that is more complicated would still be easy.

One of the commonly used concepts behind the magic tricks is camouflage. You can make a small object appear look bigger by controlling the way that the audience perceives the materials. You can also make use of other material such as secret pockets so that you can hide an object or make it appear. Additionally, you will have to use secret movements during your performance of the tricks so that you can move things and control them. You should be careful not to expose to your audience how the tricks are done so that they will keep the interest in your tricks. You can also make use of an apparatus that can make an object appear or disappear like when you are performing card tricks. You have to control the materials that you use so that the audience will only see the magic and not the manipulation behind it.

If you are able to learn the simpler tricks, you will also know how to manipulate the apparatus and you can still use it in other magic tricks that may use the same idea only it is more complex.

Baby Boomers' Love For Theatre - Unleash That Actor In You

Theatre is loved by baby boomers. Not without good reason. The theatre from of art which teaches values and love of culture that definitely were prime to our baby boomers, when they were venturing out in the 50s to 60s. one can not go without noticing the influence of theatre in today as was the influence of hippies back then during their peak.

Love for culture and stage that had become common during amidst the culture of the baby boomers also lets us now that this was nothing less than a well educated det of people. These baby boomers definitely had some influential exposure from the college that they attended or their own parents which undoubtedly has gone a long way in preserving this very important part of our society right through the time this very generation had been in charge.

Almost all the baby boomers have been very fascinated by the theater and its givings to the cultural world. For these it is more than just watching plays and being a good patron of art and culture. Its something more. Many of them feel that there is a desperate performer inside them who wants to just get out there and walk onto the stage and act out a play and show to everyone that here is a potential actor, breaking all the hesitance inside each of them. But the unwillingness and shyness to take that chance has been keeping us all and even giving it a try. However this kind of risk and step taking maybe an easy and possible task for all of us when we are young, the case is not the same when we grow into adults. As adults there is always a need to preserve one's image and pride when one should try to never look stupid especially like on a stage and we forget a line.

As all the baby boomers progress towards the age of retirement, they get more in touch with the creative side of themselves. This point in their life is priceless when they have all the opportunities to explore that thing inside them who wants to take the plunge into the acting world. They can find out for themselves if they really can unleash the actor inside them and also succeed in captivating the audience with their talents and keep them glued to their seats.

It should be noted that if at all there was a voice inside us that cried out to make it big as well as keep in touch with the creative side of themselves, then theatre is indelibly the answer to sprout new wings even if old age is the condition prevailing. Why not? Why not take a chance in life to perform that task which you have always wanted to try all your life. Retirement shouldn't put you down. Actually that should be the time when you actually let go and tell yourself " this is it and I have it in me to give it a try. Why not give it a try? I am definitely trying this out.

Your entire life unsure timidness has kept you from trying out the actor in you in a real role played in a real play. When finally you give it a try and it clicks and when you hear that rousing applause from the audience side at the end of the play, you know that you have everything in you, you will know what you have kept yourself from all your life.

Magic - Art, Craft, Or Just a Bunch of Tricks?

A question I've often heard thrown about has to do with "magic" (I'm talking about presenting magic tricks and illusions) being art. Is Magic art? Well, the answer to that question depends greatly on who you are asking.

In my experience, if you ask that question to many in the "theatre community" they will most likely say "no". If you ask someone on the street the question, they will probably say "no" also. They are right and they are wrong.

I don't care if we are talking about sculpture, acting, music, drawing, magic, painting or "fill in the blank", none of these are art "by definition." They are first a craft. That craft can approach and become art in the right hands. The same holds true when we are talking about magic or illusion. In the right hands the presentation of magic can become fantastic performance art, in the wrong hands it can become unbearable. I imagine we have all heard lousy musicians or bands. Maybe you have seen a painting that is simply a horrible mess, I know I have. And, I have seen some terrible magicians.

If one magician is terrible, does that mean all magic is? Of course not. That is silly. Just like one bad painter, sculptor, musician doesn't make all painting, sculpture, or music bad. Unfortunately, many people have the opinion of "magic" being bad simply because they had a bad experience with a lousy performer or, maybe, they just don't get it.

Many times I've heard people claim they don't like magic because it is all a trick or it is not real or some other nonsense. I point out, politely, that your favorite TV show is not real. nor are the movies you like to watch or the latest fiction book on the bestsellers list. It is all make believe. Just like magic is make believe. In the right hands, magic elevates you, entertains you, intrigues you and, yes, fools you too in the most wonderful way because what you have just witnessed defies explanation. If the magical performer is really good, you won't care "how it's done" anyway because you'll be too busy enjoying yourself.

So, is Magic which has often been called the "second oldest profession" art? Yes, in the right hands Magic can become Art.

When Learning Magic, Does Practice Really Make Perfect?

By Bryan Dean Toder



Besides doing magic, I also know how to dance. Lindy Hop, Swing (East and West Coast), etc. I took lessons, workshops... everything to learn this stuff. And, practice is needed to get good enough to dance socially.


One thing that I learned early on is that you can practice all you want and still not get good! When you practice, the key is to practice the right moves. Common sense, right? The thing most people miss is that most will practice the wrong moves.


In the dancing example, for instance, I see many people trying to learn to do, let's say, the West Coast Swing. This is very difficult; it took me about six months to get the basics down. I see people all the time doing steps that are not in this dance. And they do it all the time. Why? Because they practiced it wrong.


So What Does This Have To Do With Magic?


A lot, my friend. You see, if you practice, let's say, the Hindu Shuffle, and you do it sloppy and practice it sloppy, the move becomes sloppy. And it's hard to undo after that.


I was once at a one-day magic seminar and one of the acts in the evening show, a graduate of the Chavez School of Magic, was performing an act using billiard balls. (This is a classic piece in magic.) But, every time she put the ball into her left hand to make it vanish, I and everyone else in the room saw where it went. She was so sloppy in her moves that she ruined (and exposed) her act! And the reason is that she practiced it this way -- all of the time.

Here Are The Steps To Practice Your Magic Correctly:


  • The first thing is to find out exactly what the correct moves are. This seems so obvious -- and it is -- that I bet most people overlook it. So, find out the right moves to do. This will be the original model by which to gauge your progress. Write them down step-by-step, if you have to.


  • Second, work on each step and it's next step. Practice the steps broken-down rather than the entire move.


  • Third, when you practice, keep checking on how close you are to the original model -- the correct model. Adjust what you are doing if you are "off".


  • Fourth, practice without thinking about the "move". The best way of doing this is to do the move while watching television. This is because you are thinking about and looking at something else. And, if you can do the move while you are preoccupied, you will learn the move well!


  • Fifth, check again how close you are to the original model. Adjust your practicing to get the move back to the correct model.
Now, of course, the above is for something small, like a card move or a coin vanish. For bigger things like a manipulation act or even an illusion, you can follow the above -- without the television, of course. This is where a video camera to capture your movements would be handy.

So, remember to practice right because practice doesn't make perfect... perfect practice makes perfect!

The Secret of Performing With Vocal Power For Singers, Public Speakers and Actors

By Jonathan Morgan Jenkins



May I introduce the Vocal Power Team!


Understanding the functions of the Vocal Power Team is the key to becoming a powerful and understood singer, public speaker or actor.


1) The Abdominal Muscles

2) The larynx

3) The Amplifier


"When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world." George Washington Carver (1864-1943)


I am someone who has always believed in teamwork. When I directed my 75 member choral group, the Capistrano Chorale we were all dependent on one another to practice and perform to our individual potential. When we all did, the performances were exceptional and when we all didn't the performances suffered.


We have the same scenario in our body. We have three separate body systems that must operate at their individual potential and coordinate as a team in order for our singing or speaking to be powerful. The following material consists of excerpts from my popular book Singing and Speaking on the Edge of a Grunt. This material is simply an explanation of their basic functions. The answers to how to coordinate them to produce powerful vocal sounds are explained in the book. I hope you learn something special from this material. The body is truly an incredible machine!


1) The Abdominal Muscles


The Abdominal Muscles are located between the ribs and the pelvis on the front portion of the body. There are five muscle groups that combine to completely cover the internal organs. Further, they support the trunk, allow movement, and hold organs in place by regulating internal abdominal pressure.


The five main abdominal muscles groups are:


Transversus Abdominus - The deepest muscle layer, its main role are to stabilize the trunk and maintain internal abdominal pressure.


Rectus Abdominus - It exists between the ribs and the pubic bone at the front of the pelvis. This muscle group is commonly called "The Six Pack". The main function of the rectus abdominus is to move the body between the ribcage and the pelvis.


External Oblique Muscles - They exist on each side of the rectus abdominus. The external oblique muscles allow the trunk to twist to the left or right.


Internal Oblique Muscles - These flank the rectus abdominus, and are located just inside the hipbones. They operate in the opposite way to the external oblique muscles. For example, twisting the trunk to the left requires the left hand side internal oblique and the right hand side external oblique to contract together.


The abdominals are an extremely important part of the breathing process, especially during exhale. They assist in forcing air out of the lungs by depressing the thorax. Then, our fifth muscle group begins its very important job. The fifth and arguably most important muscle for our discussion is the Diaphragm.


Diaphragm - In the anatomy of Mammals, (Yes, we are one of those!) the diaphragm is a shelf of muscle extending across the bottom of the ribcage. The diaphragm separates the thoracic cavity (with lung and heart) from the abdominal cavity (with liver, stomach, intestines, etc.). In its relaxed state, the diaphragm is shaped like a dome or parachute.


2) The larynx


I must first say that I consider the Larynx to be one of the greatest miracles and gifts that mankind has ever been given.


Take a moment and consider life without a larynx. If you could not sing, speak or laugh I think you would agree that your life would change in a major way. We have actually been born with a free instrument. It is better than any instrument created by man because it can not only create pitch, but it can communicate words. No other instrument can do that. With many people, though, they shy away from singing because many students, in my experience, think they sound poor. This is often because, as in my case, somebody close to them laughed at them when they sang and maybe inferred that they had no talent. Unfortunately, with the voice, many people fail to understand that, like any instrument, it must also be trained to reach its potential.


Of course, there exist many people who sound wonderful without any training. The mistake many of these people make is that they will achieve exceptional voices if they submit themselves to effective training. This is because their basic voice is so far advanced without training. Often times I have seen these gifted vocalists conclude they have a natural talent and have a perfect voice that does not require training. Another problem these people with natural voices have, common to everyone, is the lack of knowledge of how to achieve effective breath control. The truth that I have found is that humans do not breathe correctly under normal conditions. All of us must learn this basic and vital ability.


In a comparable example with the steps required to learn another common musical instrument, if you were learning the guitar, you would not expect to immediately be able to play it once you purchased your instrument. That would be ridiculous! Anyone would expect that they must take some kind of lessons. One reason that our approach to training the voice may be different is


that our instrument already works. Since we have used it to communicate, starting with our first scream, we have already developed some level of vocalization and pitch. The important thing to understand is that your basic level of development will be different from everybody else. You must accept your current ability and move forward with confidence and dedication to create a voice that represents your individual potential.


3) The Amplifier


The what? Do I need my electric guitar? No. Actually, an acoustic guitar would be a better analogy. All kidding aside, without the resonating cavities of the neck and head, our little voice box would probably sound like a munchkin from the Wizard of Oz.


Have you ever heard an electric guitar played without an amplifier? No much to hear, is there? But, plug it into a couple of high-end Marshall Amplifier stacks and run it through some crazy effects and you will hear it for a long distance. Here is how this same principle works within our body.


As we have discussed, the vocal cords are two bands of mucous membrane tissue located in the larynx. The larynx is located in the neck at the top of the trachea or windpipe. Vocal cords produce sound by vibrating together as the air passes through them from the lungs, supported by the abdominal muscles. After leaving the larynx, the vibrations travel through the resonating cavities (amplifiers) of the neck and head. When they reach there, the sound is further amplified by resonating (bouncing) against the hard boney surfaces that enclose those cavities, especially the teeth.


This amplified vibration is eventually projected, as a complex sound, beyond the body via the open mouth. Before exiting, the sound is often enhanced by the addition of words. This is accomplished mainly with the tongue, teeth and lips. The result is called diction. We will discuss diction in depth in chapter five. At the end of the process, the resulting outside of body sound is the sound of the individual's voice. The individual's voice quality is also partially dependent on the thickness and length of the vocal chords. Further, the shape, thickness, and density of the bones and cartilages, and the size and shape of the empty spaces in the resonating cavities are of prime importance when determining our voice.


I hope this information was helpful. See you next time.

Actors Are Psychic Channels - Why Emotional Instability And Drug Addictions Are So Common

By Sunny Yin Wang



Why do so many great actors and actresses have such difficulty dealing with their emotional well-being? Almost daily we hear about entertainers who have a history of drug abuse or who take heavy doses of anti-depressants. Many of these conditions are diagnosed by medical professionals as nervous disorders or low self-esteem, however the standard medical treatments have not yet resolved this widespread social phenomenon. There are many metaphysical details about acting that remain unknown to most of the acting population. As long as these details are ignored, many actors and actresses will continue to fall in the trap of drug abuse and heavy prescription medicine.


Acting in itself is a form of channeling. This form of channeling is not the same, for example, as psychics who communicate with spirits or other non-physical beings. This form of channeling is focused on emotional responses associated with certain events. Actors either retrieve their emotional response from their personal past experience, or they retrieve these emotions from the greater Universe's Akashic records. When the director says "Action", some actors almost go into a trance and actually become the characters they portray.


Think of the Akashic records as the Universe's Hall of Records, where every thought, word, feeling, and event of the past, present, and future is recorded. It is all there. With the right level of consciousness, this information can be accessed. In the Akashic records, events and emotions are generally recorded together. It is very similar to data stored on a computer hard drive. When an actor channels the emotions they need for their role, in many instances, they also have to download/channel from the Akashic records some of the story line/events that are attached to the emotions. When someone practices accessing multiple levels of emotions, their energy body reaches out into the Universal source of emotions and if these actors and actresses are not aware of energy practices, it becomes harder to disconnect from the Universe's source and restructure their own energy body.


For instance, if an actress is acting a rape scene, she channels the fear and anger from a rape victim's memory in the Akashic records. This memory and emotion becomes the actresses own, to a degree. In her real life, she may begin to have recurrent feelings of being raped, although it has never happened to her before. In the same scene, as a male actor portrays the rapist's attitudes of violence against women, that actor may go home and later wonder why he has begun to feel remnants of that desire for violence. In his confusion, the actor may become filled with shame and decide that even discussing these feelings is not an acceptable social behavior. Consequently, the actor may decide to keep it to himself and suppresses his feelings. As more and more of these unreleased emotions/events actors have channeled during performances accumulates, the chosen remedy often becomes numbing themselves with medication or drugs. Lasting peace will only come from first becoming aware of these energies, and then neutralizing/discharging the emotional residues.


Part 2 of this article provides examples from the lives of actors like Robin Willians, Lindsay Lohan, and Jim Carrey. Please go to http://sunnywang.com/id52.html to read more.
