I’ve tried google, but they give bad advertisements for money costing sites. I know many card tricks, I want to know other street magic.
I want to learn magic without spending money, I know card tricks but I would like to learn other illusions and stage magic, or street magic. I would like it to be an in-depth website, easy to flip through.

I need to locate a copy of the old Magic Chef Allegro Double oven manual. It came in the built in cabinet and seems to be one unit with microwave. I’m having hard time operating the oven. It says “automatic operation” and “push for manual operation”.

It sometimes doesn’t turn on and I have to fiddle with the knobs to make it work. Could someone tell me where I could find a manual so I would know how to operate the oven? I already looked for it but couldn’t find it. I wrote to Maytag as Magic chef website redirected me there asking for a manual. Haven’t heard from them yet.

Thanks.

Me and my friend love magic tricks and we are planning to start a magic club. we just have to talk to the principle. As a result of this enormous interest there are books, articles, DVDs, videos and even classes where a person can learn the art of magic illusions.
But we need some ideas to do in the club. i already know how to teach the tricks but are their more ideas.

Just like all of your different effects, you want to make the approaching lines or patter your own. Walk up, or if standing next to them already, go ahead and get their attention either by starting to talk to them or pulling out your cards etc.

Sometimes I may just walk up, shake their hand (firm grip, but not too tight, just to show confidence), introduce myself, produce my deck (from a palm) and go into whatever patter “I’m doing an experiment for school on probability and people’s ability to pay attention to certain actions.”

Be confident, create your own lines, make it your own and make it to fit your character

Not all the different kinds of magic will fit into a single person. Each and everyone have their own style.

Find something to fit your personality, but most of all, make sure you HAVE a personality. Be friendly, be mysterious, be whoever you want to be but make sure to be someone and to have some kind of feeling in your voice. Blaine may get reactions, but not everyone would get the same kind of reactions, and something called chemistry in their Mind. You as a magician should create such a reaction among your audience.

Don’t go with that monotone same sounding almost bored voice. It doesn’t sounds very exciting or intriguing. You want them to WANT to see what you have to show.

Basically, if you’ve seen Blaine and similar people performing on the street your first thought might be the whole “Would you like to see something?” approach. Or perhaps “Would you like to see some magic?”
When you think about it though, I mean REALLY think about that from the other perspective, I mean sure, it gets the point across, but does it sound that great? Not really. It’s just not something I would recommend using.
Imagine someone walking up with a deck of cards in their hands asking if you want to see something. Not an interesting approach.
Really, I would usually start by introducing myself, walk up shake their hand etc. “Hey, my name is ____ ____, I’m a local/close-up/whatever performing magician, could I have a minute of your time? Perhaps show you a few things I’ve been working on?” (by the way, telling someone you are still “working on this” when doing an effect catches them more off guard as it seems like your just practicing even though you’ve practiced it so many times before and have it down).

I really want to do some street magic to some bystanders, customers in a restaurant and etc.
But i could not seem to find the right words to open or engage in a conversation leading to me performing magic.
Well you could say this is a problem of communication, but still I talk with everyone with ease, but when it comes to magic, I lose confidence, and I dont know where to start.
There are many ways to avoid this. One way would be to walk up to a person and saying, “Hey, you dropped something!” They’ll turn to see you holding an item. You could reach out to give it to them, only for it to have disappeared from your hand and reappeared in the other. If this hooks them they may ask to see more, otherwise you can ask if they want to see more.

I have started to scratch my head for this simple question !
There are many different forms of magic that exists in the world. But my question is whether there exists any difference between magic and miracle ?
Julia Peculiar asked why Jesus didn’t just make wine from air rather than from water, since he’s so good at miracles. Many of you said that would be magic, not a miracle. Care to clarify?

I can assure that the magician’s hands say almost as much as his voice. Easy magic tricks for kids allow them to increase their manual dexterity through the illusive actions of a magic performance. This, in turn, leads to supple and swift movement of the hands.
This Friday I would like to get my hair straightened permanently. I have had two different consultations at two local salons. One salon uses Magic Straight and the other salon uses Thermal Ionic. What is the difference? Are they both permanent? Does one damage the hair more than the other?

This post is for all newbies out there who have started magic.
A child must learn the steps of the trick, the hand motions that go along with the trick and also the conversation to keep the audience’s attention and the level of suspense high.
I’ve done magic for quite a while but there aren’t many magic associated things in Florida. There is a convention coming up but its expensive. Any ideas? Thanks
