- Get Your Magic Tricks: Try A Magic Shop
By: Vikram Kumar | - Magic has been around for longer than any other type of performing art and in fact probably been around for as long as we have. Magic was originally performed as part of the rites of worship, by religious leaders, to show how powerful a certain god and his priest servant were. These magicians invented the tricks and worked out how to do them themselves. They couldnt just buy them from a magic shop, and they passed down the secrets of their tricks to selected apprentices.

- Stripper Magic
By: Drawk.Kwast | - When I first moved to Las Vegas I made a commitment to myself to avoid strippers which, against my better judgment, I would later change my mind on. What had not occurred to me was that when you live in Las Vegas, every attractive girl you meet is either a "dancer" which is the same thing as stripper, or a stripper, which is the same thing as prostitute. These are girls I would meet at the gym or at the grocery store, get them out on a date, and find out they were a "dancer." From these expe ...

- Magic And Religion
By: David Hertz | - It seems almost incredible to us that Magic, now that we regard it only as an entertaining art, should have led the way to an understanding of nature and thus to the development of sciences. But just such was its effect.
Magic, of course, you know came down hand in hand with History. In our earliest records, in Biblical times, during the Golden Age of Art in Greece, in the Dark Ages, during the Renaissance, down to the present day, we see the influence of Magic. I have already give ...

- Witchcraft And Magic Tricks
By: Vikram Kumar | - Magic is among the oldest of the performing arts and has probably existed nearly as long as civilization itself. Originally, magic was performed by religious leaders as part of worship rites that showed the power of both a particular god and of the priest who served him. Early magicians had to create each magic trick and the method of performing the trick themselves. There wasn't a local magic shop and the secrets were carefully guarded and passed on only to chosen apprentices.

By: Kim Michael Wist | - Trade shows offer a different but very interesting venue for various entertainment artists. Because people move around and performances are very seldom arranged at specific times, a performers main job is usually to attract and keep customers by the stand.

- How To Successfully Transition From One Magic Trick To Another
By: Jay Sankey | - "The only thing that keeps the audience in their seats is wondering what's going to happen next." - David Mamet
As you put your coins back in the purse, gather up the four Aces or take a prop out of your case, what happens between your effects? As magicians, we tend to spend a lot more time thinking about the effects themselves rather than the time between our effects, and yet these transitional moments are at least as important as the moments during an effect.

- 3 Popular Types Of Magic
By: Mr. Ryan Even | - It seems that the popularity of magic goes in cycles. Right now magic has once again surged in popularity thanks in large part to the street magic performed by illusionists like David Blaine. Because of the mystery involved and the shear entertainment, magic will always be a welcomed form of entertainment. Three popular types of magic are child magic, up-close magic, and stage magic.
Child Magic
You can probably guess the types of magic that is involved with each of ...

- Magicians Should Perform Naturally
By: Jay Sankey | - "It is a great ability to be able to conceal one's ability." - La Rochefoucauld
Within magic circles, we take it as an indisputable given that we should perform our effects as 'naturally' as possible. Many of the great thinkers of magic have insisted upon the importance of naturalness, especially in regards to manual technique. But what exactly is it about being natural that is so desirable?
Of course, as with most things, 'natural' is a relative term. What is perfe ...

- How To Create Magic Tricks
By: Jay Sankey | - "The history of art is the history of revivals." - Samuel Butler
When I create magic, I begin the process at a variety of 'places.' One place is with a move that has caught my imagination, a sleight which on some level I sense has exciting potential. In such cases, I focus on the move and strive to perceive it in the abstract and apart from any specific (and limiting) applications.
Take for example, Edward Marlo's "In Lieu of the Through the Fist Move," also known a ...

- A Little Magic Experiment
By: Jay Sankey | - "Acting is a masochistic form of exhibitionism. It is not quite the occupation of an adult." - Lawrence Olivier
What does it mean to bring feeling to an effect? Does it mean to weep as you demonstrate your Faro Shuffle? Laugh hysterically as you push a lit cigarette into your fist? Or moan with sexual pleasure as you cause the Four of Clubs to rise to the top of the pack again and again? Though I am a completely untrained actor, I am going to hazard a guess and say, no. Such large ...

- Should Magic Tricks Be Kept Secret?
By: Jay Sankey | - "Without courage wisdom bears no fruit." - Baltasar Gracian
"Never reveal the secret to the trick." This is the First Commandment we each learned, often within moments of learning the mechanics behind our first trick. The First Commandment was not "Love magic," "Practice every day," "Be original," or "The tricks are mere vehicles." Rather it was about keeping secrets to ourselves.
I am reminded of Pat Conroy's wonderful book "The Prince of Tides" and how the mother ...

- Magic & Mentalism Are More Alike Than You Realize
By: Jay Sankey | - "Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are the dead." - Aldous Huxley
Think of the archetype of Merlin the Magician. Can you see him waving a wand over a cauldron causing sparks to burst forth? How about changing a stone into a frog? And finally, can you imagine him revealing another person's thoughts or foretelling an event? For me, all of these abilities are from the same family, especially as embodied in a character such as M ...

- Making Your Magic Performance Mysterious And Humorous
By: Jay Sankey | - All human knowledge take the form of interpretation. - Walter Benjamin
As both a seasoned magician and stand-up comic, I have a relatively unique, first-hand experience of the perplexing relationship between the mysterious and the humorous.
Sometimes, the apparently impossible can be very funny because a performance of strong magic can create the tension required for a big laugh. My favorite example of this is the audience member who bursts into laughter the moment ...

Of course, in a parade sponsored by a major department store, an easy and cynical observation ...

- History Behind The Hat: The Story Of The Magician
By: Jim Kapowski | - The concept of magician as entertainer has its roots deep in human history, but mostly dates back to the sixteenth century. Prior to this time, those who practiced magic claimed to have supernatural powers. When this idea clashed with Christianity in the Western world, new magicians, who entertained audiences, emerged.
Chevalier Joseph Pinetti impressed audiences in the late 1700s with his tricks as an escapist and mentalist. Illusionists emerged in the nineteenth century, using ...
