How Magicians Create A Winning Atmosphere For Magic

By Ken Ryan on January 24, 2019 0

Ideally, magic should be about art and showmanship, not about “winning” against the audience in an adversarial contest. Don’t “challenge” your audience with confrontational language during tricks, and don’t present the audience with the the attitude that you are better than they are or don’t respect them. You can have challenging tricks, but the tone of the challenge should be friendly and playful, not adversarial. Finally try to not remind your audience that your trick is even a trick in the first place — you might want to try telling a story instead.
