3 Proven Practice Tactics for Busy People

July 12, 2017 By Aaron Fisher

Proven Practice Tactics

Do you ever feel like like there aren’t enough hours in a day to practice your magic? If so, don’t fear… you are NOT alone.

These days, most passionate magicians have full lives and practice time is hard to come by. Fortunately, you can make strategic decisions about what to practice. And when you do that, a little practice practice can go a long way!

Proven Practice Tactics 1In this post, you’ll discover three little known practice strategies you can use to make massive improvements out of even the most limited practice time.

Here’s a short video that teaches you an easy-to-do technique which demonstrates how all three practice strategies work in ‘real life’. Practice this one simple move, and you’ll get one of the most diabolical secret forces ever devised.

Even better, you’ll acquire invaluable knowledge you can use to get the most out of the practice time you DO have!

Note: For Maximum Value, read the 3 Proven Practice Tactics below BEFORE you watch!

Practice Methods with Built-in Backup

Proven Practice Tactics 2If you want to watch your magic soar, choose methods you can expect to start testing in live performance soon.

This is crucial, because performance gives you the most useful feedback you can use to master ANY technique.  

Built-in Backup means you don’t need to perform the new sleight successfully to have a successful performance.

Proven Practice Tactics 3For example, you can practice the classic force when you perform tricks that don’t require a force!

Performing with Built-In Backup removes all the pressure, and makes it much easier to discover how a technique functions in a live performance.

Use your new techniques with Built-In Backup and you’ll discover higher levels of confidence quickly. You’ll also discover that your new confidence translates to fast progress and true mastery!

Splinter Your Sleights For Success

Proven Practice Tactics 4Most ‘sleights’ we choose to practice are actually combinations of two, or more, secret moves.

For example, the double turnover requires you to turn two cards over (as one) to display the face of a card.

Then, to complete the switch, you need to do the whole thing again.  

Proven Practice Tactics 5Even experienced magicians miss out on simple ways to make learning magic easier. They sometimes forget to choose routines that make it as simple as possible to use their new sleight successfully in performance.

For example, if you want to practice your double turnover, seek out a trick that only requires you to work with the first part, or splinter, until you are comfortable with it, and then move forward from there.

I call this Sleight Splintering – and it’s how I was able to make progress with every advanced sleight I’ve ever learned. Splinter your sleights, and you’ll lower the ‘success barrier’ and master every move faster!

Create Practice Leverage to Learn Faster Than Ever Before!

Proven Practice Tactics 6Often, we seek to leverage our practice time by focusing on sleights we can  apply to many tricks. This is called Method Leverage, because each sleight lets you expand the tricks, and combinations of tricks, you can perform.

Proven Practice Tactics 7Practice Leverage, on the other hand, is when you choose to work on skills that will make it easier to master ANY future sleight you want to practice.

For example, the left fourth finger break and the 7-point natural dealing position both give you Practice Leverage. They each make MANY sleights easier to practice and perform.  

Put It All Together with the Blu-Ray Crossing-the-Cut Force

The Blu-Ray Crossing-the-Cut Force (see the video in this post) makes it easy to acquire the most valuable misdirection skill we know.

Proven Practice Tactics 8

It gives you Practice Leverage, because EVERY sleight becomes more effective with misdirection.  

 

Proven Practice Tactics 9It offers you a Sleight Splinter, because it allows you to master misdirection without combining it with ANY other technique. Watch the  video in this post, and you can start using misdirection with confidence in a matter of minutes!

Proven Practice Tactics 10You also get Built-In Backup, because this Force will still deceive your audience even if you ‘miss’ the misdirection technique in performance.

That means you can practice the Blu-Ray Crossing the Cut Force and start using it in performance almost immediately. And in the process, you’ll discover the fastest way to master one of the most important, little used powers any magician can hope to possess.

Magic Clubs: Is Joining One Right For You?

June 7, 2017 By Aaron Fisher

magic clubs

Over the last several years, many aspects of how we learn magic have changed – and many of the revered magic clubs of my childhood suffer from shrinking participation and membership. In some cases, the situation truly looks dire.

The question of whether or not to participate in magic clubs is one that has come up time and time again throughout my career, both for myself and for my students, clients and friends in magic. Many wonder whether or not participating in a magic club is essential to their artistic and performance development.

The short answer is: Yes. Magic clubs – and what the good ones offer their members – ARE essential to every magician’s performance development. They may not be something you rely on at all times during your career but at some point, if you stay in magic for more than just a little while, you will need, and want, a community to help you develop further.

How did Magic Clubs start?

magic clubs1The oldest ‘official’ Magic Club is the Society of American Magicians, founded in 1902 in the back of Martinka’s magic shop in New York. But the truth is, magic clubs have been around a lot longer than that.

magic clubs2A club is defined as a group of people who meet to participate in an activity. So magic clubs have been around for, basically, as long as magicians. Although historically there was a great deal of secrecy surrounding magic effects, traditions and secrets have always managed to get passed on from generation to generation. Which means that despite how hard it may have been to obtain secrets in the days before the internet, magicians have always gathered to share ideas and help each other progress.

Why?

Because, like most other passionate artists, magicians want to discuss what they’re working on, how they’re working on it and how they feel about their art! Meeting up with other magicians tends to help everyone’s magic improve… and that’s been true for as long as magic has been around.

Mostly ‘for the money’. When you love something, you want to share it. And that’s likely what started the very first group of magicians talking in the first place.

Magic Clubs over the last century

magic clubs3

As you probably know, magic, and the way people learn magic, has changed a LOT over the last hundred years or so. Gone are the days when you needed to meet a master ‘in person’ in order to learn advanced sleight of hand. In fact, these days, you hardly need to leave your living room. After all, you can order most of the essential magic books online and/or attend online magic classes or workshops!

For some folks, this is a dream come true. Magic can be a very solitary art if you want it to be – and many do. Most magic clubs that have monthly meetings have seen a decline in attendance, while many online magic communities have been growing every year.

One thing that hasn’t changed: Artists still want to discuss their art and work together on making it better.

Why It’s Important to Know Other Magicians

If you’ve been doing magic for a while now, it’s likely you’ve had the experience of working on a secret sleight for hours and hours  without getting it quite right, only to discover (months later) a small piece of information you were missing that propelled you to the next stage.

Perhaps this information camagic clubs did you knowme from re-reading a text, or re-watching a video. But more often than not it came from meeting the inventor at a magic convention, or asking a friend who had already mastered the move.

Every now and again you get stuck. When that happens (and it happens to ALL of us), you need someone to tell you exactly what it is you’re doing wrong so that you know what the problem is, and how to solve it quickly. Even for magicians who don’t perform but love to practice – magic can become very frustrating when you don’t see any improvement over time.

When you belong to a strong magic club of any type – whether online or in person – you get the chance to discuss what you’re working on and get advice from people who have been there before, and know the fastest route to get you where you want to go.

Magic Clubs? Don’t Understand what the big deal is?

Conjuror.Community is the online magic club I started with my friend Adam Grace. It has grown and changed more than we ever could have imagined when we started, and we have seen first hand just how much having a community of like-minded people to share your experiences with can help any magician get more fun, and success, out of their magic.

Check out this thread from our private facebook group. It’s a perfect example of how magic clubs help magicians develop everyday:

Two Heads are Better Than One

magic clubs8In just a couple of minutes, Jonathan was able to put his inquiry out to an entire group of magicians, some of whom had the specific experience he was talking about (improv) and many of whom are working professionals. Within a day he had multiple answers and points of view about his question. He can then take that information and use it in any way he wants – as any member of an effective magic club can do.

 

 

Decide For Yourself

Not everything you hear or see in various magic clubs, whether online or in person, will be for you. Some of the material and ideas you will like, and some you may think are completely inaccurate. But actually taking the time to think about them and formulate your opinion is what counts.

magic clubs9In an information-saturated world, it’s important to develop your own opinions instead of just taking what others say for granted. Twenty magicians could have twenty different opinions on the same subject – and you should have yours too!

At first we often adopt the opinions of the magicians we respect – or we may gravitate toward the workings of a select group, but eventually we need to take the time to develop our own ideas, otherwise we’ll all just be unoriginal copycats (and magic has enough of those, right)?

Having a group that cares about you, motivates you.

Our friend Chris Snoyer does a good job of explaining it in this article:

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-your-squadgoals-chris-snoyer?trk=prof-post

Although we’ve never heard of a squad of magicians, the message is the same. Assuming that we need to do everything all on our own, or that receiving help from others somehow diminishes our own work, holds back a lot of people from accomplishing their goals. So does not having a good group of friends and mentors.

The truth is: we all need help and assistance from others at different times in our lives. And it doesn’t diminish anything we accomplish, because it’s also true that when it comes to being a great magician or performer, no one else can do it for you.

magic clubs10Stage time speaks for itself, and it’s clear when a performer has ‘flight time’, and when they have not. No matter how many magic books you read, who you take photos with or how well you can articulate your opinion, the ability to successfully perform magic for a live audience cannot be faked.

And it can’t be taught. It must be learned through action.

 

Put Yourself Out There

So don’t hold back when it comes to meeting magicians, asking questions and learning as much as you can. Whether or not you put that knowledge to the test in front of real live audiences is what counts, and what will help you improve the most in the end.

magic clubs11

If you’re not somebody who wants to perform, then reaching out to other magicians will help you develop your craft further, and you’ll likely meet one or two real friends in the process, too. 🙂

Until next time,

How to Become a Magician

March 8, 2017 By Aaron Fisher

“How do I become a magician?” – the question we get asked MOST often here at Conjuror Community.

The answer depends entirely on who you are and what your goals are.

Some people feel they are a magician the instant they perform a trick for an audience – whether it works or not. Some people feel they’re a magician as soon as they fool someone. For others it takes a standing ovation from a large crowd and for still others, they don’t feel they’ve ‘made it’ until their craft is monetized.

If you want to know how to become a magician, the first thing you will do is begin learning. Looking into tricks, watching magic and studying the magicians you appreciate and respect.

We know from experience that it’s tough to sift through all the information out there, which is why we compiled this advice from some of the best magicians in the world on how to become a magician.

Whether you’re just starting out, or looking to take your magic to the next level, we think hearing from these amazing magicians will help! Be sure to let us know what you think in the comment section, or if you have any advice of your own…

Bill Abbott

Get a mentor. Someone who you look up to, is proven successful in their field and be respectful of their time and their material.

 

 

Ning Cai

Know what makes you different.

 

R Paul Wilson

Think twice. I’m not saying “don’t” but one should be wary of turning their passion into their profession. What might you lose if your decisions are dictated by matters of money or commercial appeal? Will you be a marketing asset or maturing artist? Is it possible to be both? It’s a difficult path and it takes a long time to learn to say “no” and determine your own path. Perhaps you never will and that’s okay too. Just know it’s a tough business that’s already over-saturated. If a client just wants “tricks” it’s hard to assert yourself when so many will do the same almost for free. If you see a way to offer more than “tricks” and convey the value of that to people, you may rise above the rest. I always remember Trevor Lewis’s advice: Magic is good cake and bad bread.

Lisa Menna

Show up early, stay late, charge a lot, write thank you notes.

 

Jamy Ian Swiss

Do as many shows as you can. Go anywhere, work anything, work for anything or nothing, but try to avoid competing with working pros while you’re doing so (meaning, working for nothing or next to nothing is good, but underselling the main market by a third or half in order to get the gig is not good, as it drags the price down for everyone).

But along with this comes my best piece of advice for hobbyists wanting to become good magicians and good artists. And that is:

Learn as much as you can, as widely as you can, for the joy of it, for the sheer sake of learning. Seek excellence in your own work and also the people with whom you surround yourself. Seek mentors. If you don’t spend time with people who are smarter, more talented, and more skilled than you, you will never find excellence for yourself, you will simply make do with being as good or better than your eternal inferiors.

And whatever you do, please do not guide your studies by merely seeking to learn “what works.” While this may well make you a living, it will never make you stand out, because only a distinctly artistic point of view will do that. Being a good artist and contributing something to your art – and there is no more important contribution you can make than doing genuinely good work – therefore also becomes a commercial advantage, should you care to do the work, albeit that work is far from easy. But whether you wish to “break into the professional market,” or to do beautiful magic and never earn a dime from it, please show the respect that magic, and your audience, and above all, that you yourself deserve, by avoiding the lowest common denominator, and aiming high. Because the pursuit of excellence has nothing to do with money. And, because the higher you aim, then if you miss, you might at least land in a good place.

Your next level of astonishment is here…

Read every business book you can find about the market you want to work in. Talk to every professional (magic and non-magic)  you can who works in that market. Then do a 100 free shows in that market. By then you will know what you are doing. Its called going to school.

 

John Guastaferro

Find a mentor you trust and respect. I’ve had many in my 25 years of performing, including David Regal, Gordon Bean, and John Bannon. Meet face to face and through the interwebs. Be open to honest feedback. Ask a lot of questions. And continually improve.

Take EVERY show that you can.  Especially shows that you know are going to suck.  You will learn more from shows that don’t go well than you will from shows that perfectly well.  When you start showing up to professional gigs and find that you were mislead by the client about the venue and or audience, you’ll probably have already performed in worse situations.

Andi Gladwin

Don’t quit your day job … yet. Before I turned professional, I spent about two years building my performance career while having the comfort of a day job and a regular salary. This two year period gave me plenty of time to make mistakes and to build my magic career with the luxury of it not being my only source of income. Once I got to the point of matching my salary with magic, I knew I could then comfortably leave work without panicking about where my gigs were coming from. It eventually gets difficult to maintain two jobs (when your performance career starts to pick up speed), but the benefit is the comfort you have knowing that you won’t starve for your passion!

——-

We definitely agree with the one consistent thread: perform as much as you can, as often as you can, everywhere you can.

Getting material up on its feet and into the world is the time-tested surefire way to make your magic improve FAST. Once you start putting yourself out there, you’ll be surprised at how everything else starts to fall into place… including getting connected with a mentor who can really help you.

Magician Tips: 3 Biggest Business Mistakes Magicians Make

December 19, 2016 By Aaron Fisher

magician-tips

As a young kid, I was fortunate to find a few mentors to give me great tips and help guide me along my magic journey. They didn’t just help in the realm of sleight of hand – they helped me navigate my way through Show Business. That includes everything from performance material, marketing and business practices, and professional relationships with event planners and other Show Business Pros in Hollywood.

I know it can be tough to find trustworthy tips for magicians or an honest and helpful mentor. So I asked some of the best magicians in the world what tips they could provide to an up and coming magician.

They shared their top three biggest mistakes that magicians make in the “business” part of showbusiness… and how to fix them. Some of the responses are surprising and some tips are funny – all of them are highly useful, and I hope you think so too!

Magician Tips: 3 Biggest Business Mistakes Magicians Make

 


Lisa Menna

Magician Tips - Lisa Menna


Lisa Menna is a world-class entertainer and the only woman in history to perform in all three rooms of the prestigious Hollywood Magic Castle. She includes magic in her philanthropic work throughout the world and has performed in over 40 countries.

 

1. Non-magical forms of distraction – all the way down to snow-cone machines – are your main competition. Other magicians are not.

2. The average sale is made on the 7th contact, the average person gives up on the 3rd try.

3. Less is more.


 Dan Sperry
Magician Tips - Dan Sperry

 

 

With millions of hits on YouTube and 100’s of thousands of loyal online followers Dan Sperry the Anti-Conjuror has become a social media phenomenon and one of the most sought after live performers working today.

 

 

1. They perform for themselves and not their audience – don’t be selfish.

2. They force demonstrations without truly being asked – don’t be selfish.

3. They see something on TV or on a video or whatever and do it exactly the same way without putting anything of themselves into it.

Just be yourself.


John Archer

 Magician Tips - John Archer

 

John Archer is a past winner of the ‘Magic Circle Stage Magician of the Year’ and certainly one of the best comedy magicians in the UK today. He was the first magician to fool Penn & Teller and basically does nothing but succeed wildly on every stage regardless of circumstance

 

 

1. They worry too much about publicity and not enough about their act, Concentrate on every aspect of the performance and listen to the audience. Be in the moment when performing so you are aware of the dead spots and then try and eliminate them. There is no better publicity than people talking about a great act.

2. They charge too much, too soon. When you first start money should be secondary to getting performance time in as many situations as possible. Just because you hear what so and so is charging doesn’t mean that you should yet. Eventually you will be good enough and confident enough to charge what you think is the going rate.

3. They listen to too many people. Everyone is a critic in this business, especially other magicians, if you are not careful you will get swamped with advice. Choose some friends who you trust and respect and listen to them. True friends will encourage and build you up… If you find that friends are bringing you down then maybe rethink that friendship.


David Williamson

Magician Tips - David Williamson

David Williamson is a living legend and master of magic. He has created illusions for and performed in several commercials and has developed TV shows for Walt Disney Productions and ABC, as well as consulting for illusionists David Copperfield’s and David Blaine’s TV specials. He is also one of the funniest performers you will ever see take the stage!

Don’t let other people define you or your path to success. There are as many ways to have a career in Magic as there are people doing it! Don’t wait to be discovered, go out and blaze your own path with whatever tools you have and play to your strengths. Be bold, have fun and be creative! There are no rules, I know because just when I start obeying one, someone else comes along and breaks it! Usually to great effect. If this just sounds like a bunch of platitudes, it’s not. I wish someone had told me this when I was starting out.

Also, keep your fingernails trimmed.


Ning Cai

Magician Tips - Ning Cai

Ning Cai is a Singaporean magician and entrepreneur. She has been recognized by Channel News Asia as “South East Asia’s First Professional Female Magician”. Ning has broken a number of records and won numerous awards for her work in magic. Click here for a full list

 

Trying to look exactly like your magic hero. Doing the same acts or routines. Even copying the same show music.

Understand that true professionals are creative artists. Make art. Create something new. Don’t be a copycat.


R Paul Wilson

Magician Tips - R Paul Wilson

 

R Paul is a highly regarded writer, creator and lecturer with countless original inventions used by professional magicians around the world. He is also a performer with a huge repertoire of original effects and a reputation for classical conjuring using cutting edge methods.

 

 

They undervalue themselves. Worse still, they undervalue their art.  Magic is the most powerful, personal storytelling medium on Earth. That’s why cinema is always compared to magic, not the other way round. If you disagree, choose another medium to tell your stories.


Andi Gladwin

Magician Tips - Andi Gladwin

Andi Gladwin is a a professional close-up magician, magic creator, author, co-founder of Vanishing Inc. Magic and lecturer. He has published top-selling magic books and over the past year has lectured at the biggest magic conventions in the world including The Session, Blackpool, FISM, Magi-Fest, MAGIC Live and The Genii Convention.

 

Many of the mistakes that magicians make in business stem from the same overarching thing: not creating the best product possible. My goal is always to be the best magician possible and to offer the best experience I can. I’m constantly learning and improving so that I’m prepared for every situation. And most importantly, I’ll only take a gig if I know I can make an impact at that event. To take a gig just because I want the money goes against being the best product possible — you really must ensure that you only perform in situations where you can be the very best; to do anything else is simply shortsighted. Do the best gigs and be the best you can; with that formula, it’s impossible not to be a success.


Scott Hammell

Magician Tips - Scott Hammell

 

Scott Hammell is a four-time Guinness World Record holder. Whether it’s magic, escape artistry, stunts, or speaking, his goal is to entertain and inspire

 

 

1. They fight TOO hard to get things for themselves and not enough time making the client happy. The best piece of advice I was ever given with regards to business is, “The only reason you should be in business is to satisfy your customer.”  If your client isn’t happy, they aren’t going to tell their friends and they certainly aren’t going to hire you back.  It’s WAY easier to keep existing clients than it is to get new ones.

2. They see other magicians as competition.

If people have a bad experience with a magician, they probably aren’t going to hire one again.  When you can’t do a show, pass it on to someone you can trust to do an amazing job.  It will make both of you look great.  If you don’t give them a name of someone you recommend, they’ll try and find one by themselves.  We all know there are plenty of performers out there who advertise themselves as “The best magician in the universe” and that’s a far cry from the truth.  The client might not know any better and hire someone who sucks.  If you pass other magicians work, they’ll pass it on to you!  I’ve gotten more business from other performers than I have from bureaus and agencies combined.

3. They focus too much on tricks and techniques and not enough on performance and being human. If you can perform well, audiences are NEVER going to know the difficulty level of what you’re doing.  They just want to be entertained.  If all of your time is invested in techniques instead of being well rounded, how are you ever going to connect with your audience?


Diana Zimmerman

Magician Tips - Diana Zimmerman

 

Diana Zimmerman is an American performer, entrepreneur, writer, and businesswoman. She  has received both a Lifetime Achievement and a Special Fellowships from the Academy of Magical Arts.

 

 

1. They create an act, and then look for a place to perform without understanding the market.

2. They create an act, and then look for a place to perform without understanding the market.

3. They create an act, and then look for a place to perform without understanding the market.
(It’s a pattern.)


Bill Abbott

Magician Tips - Bill Abbott

 

 

Bill Abbott is an internationally acclaimed entertainer with 20+ years experience and over 5000 performances in over 11 countries.

 

 

 

1. They listen to magicians for business advice.

2. Many either focus too much on the product (their show) and the business end suffers. Or they focus solely on the business end and have a shitty product, their show.

3. ?


John Guastaferro

Magician Tips - John Gustaferro

 

From Hollywood and Los Angeles—to London and Paris—John has thrilled thousands of people through his magic. John has also earned worldwide acclaim for his creative insight and published books on the art of magic

 

 

The three mistakes I see most often are: Amateurish marketing; not understanding your brand; and performing before ready. The solutions are easier said than done.

1. Avoid amateurish marketing. In an age where anyone can produce their own website, this can often work against you. Convenience does not equal good design. So, invest the help of a designer and copywriter to help you bring your brand to life.

2. Understand your personal brand. In my book One Degree, I guide the reader through defining their “brand promise” by starting with nothing more than a napkin and pen. Your brand encompasses what you do, why you do it, and where you are going (your desired impact). Once you understand this, it’s much easier to open doors with confidence and authenticity.

3. Prepare, practice, and prepare some more. Performing professionally is much different than performing for friends. It takes more practice and preparation than we often think. Just like a airline pilot, who must accumulate over 1,500 hours of flying time before becoming a captain, we as magicians must rack up numerous performing hours before moving into the professional arena. Start with family and friends, then friends of friends. Volunteer and donate your time for small gigs. Expose yourself to difference performing environments, from loud parties to elegant environments. Rack up your hours, then even more, before calling yourself “professional.”


 

Do you have any magician tips that were not mentioned here? Did you make any of these mistakes yourself at any point? I’d love to hear what you think in the comment section below!
