A
magician can only perform magic tricks by bringing along some
equipment. These come in all shapes and sizes so you can build a routine
using deck of cards, balloons, small creatures and anything else that
will likely entertain the audience. But before you do that, you have to
know where you can buy it. Some of the items can be purchased in the
grocery.
A few examples of these include a box of matches, glasses,
money, paper, cutlery and sugar cubes. But if you are really serious,
you have to get these from the magic shop.
Inside, you can get ideas of new tricks you can try so there is always
something different to offer each time you have a performance. You can
also check online for such props
because they could be much cheaper through the web. You can also try to
make some after all some tricks like being able to levitate in the air
is done by sawing a small piece of plywood and then standing on it for a
few seconds. You just have to be careful so no one will notice that you
are using something to help you perform this trick.
Another example is
creating your own magician's table. Since you will be the one using
this, you will be able to customize it so there can be hidden
compartments to make things appear and disappear. What the magician
wears is also part of the act. If you don't know how to sew, bring this
over to a tailor who can sew a pocket.
Most magicians use cards in their
acts. If you will be using play cards, there are two main types namely
the Bridge size and the Poker size that are not that different in terms
of size. But there are also double faced, double backed and marked
cards. When you buy them, you will notice that there are two main colors
namely red and blue. You might
even be able to find some in other colors or get the retailer to make a
customized version. If you are performing in front of kids, naturally
you will need some animals which you can get from the pet store. The two
most common are white rabbits or white doves because can easily be
trained for a performance. They also do not bite, cry or scream which
make them ideal for a show. The use of cups and balls
are also popular because these are available in different shapes,
colors, sizes and material. You just have to see which one are you most
comfortable with using. The best are perhaps sponge balls because they
are easy on the hands and can easily be hidden. For magicians who want
to cover something as they are performing a trick, use silk and not an
ordinary 100% cotton handkerchief because they are much bigger and
available in different colors. You can't perform a magic trick without a
few tools to help you along. So, go shopping or make your own. Just
remember that you make it happen and not what you use. Be sure to
practice your tricks until you get it perfectly so there won't be any
problems when you finally perform before a large audience.
