Learning Magic Tricks – A Better Way to Practice

By Ken Ryan on January 3, 2018 0

People wanting to improve their ability to perform magic need to do one main task. That one main thing is practicing. The trick to this is to practice magic with your mind and not necessarily the number of hours that you put into it. Experts say that it takes over ten thousand hours to perfect any given domain and magic is no exception, although you can vary this time depending on how you are practicing it.

Key Takeaways:

  • There are three different distinct patterns magicians use, broken record, autopilot, and hybrid method.
  • Deliberate practice is a systematic and highly effective way to learn magic.
  • How one spends their time practicing is more important than how much time they spend practicing.

“Life is short. Time is our most valuable commodity. If you’re going to practice, you might as well do it right.”

The Impossibility Process

By Ken Ryan on December 29, 2017 0

The Impossibility Process is a film that explores what it means to be a magician. From the earliest stages of wonder and excitement about magic to learning the craft of magic to finally performing it for others, the film reveals the discovery process a human being goes through that ultimately leads them to practice the art of modern magic. It touches on the subjects of curiosity, apprenticeship, and stagecraft. It is a film that invites the audience to glimpse behind the scenes and see the craft behind the art.

Key Takeaways:

  • This work explores how a magician will progress through his craft.
  • Many people were involved in making The Impossibility Process into the work that it is
  • The Impossibility Process was filmed in Tannen’s Magic Shop, a place that has fostered magician development

“The feeling of impossibility surrounds the craft of magic, and magicians are the conduits for those moments.”

The Next Step to Becoming a Magician – Most People Never Do This

By Ken Ryan on November 14, 2017 0

Learning magic and becoming a performing magician takes a lot of time, effort, and certainly skill. But there’s something else that every magician must include in his or her bag of tricks. Motivation. Of course it took motivation to get to the point where you can perform even some magic, which definitely puts you above most people who talk about learning a little bit of magic. But to take your act to the next level, and start striving for professional status, motivation needs to be just as strong as skill.

Key Takeaways:

  • You have to do decide what you want in life in order to make the next move
  • Motivation is the most important thing to have if you want to become a magician
