Free Magic Cards
Getting Started in Magic by Jacob T Anderson
Magic is a performance art that combines physical dexterity, charisma, comedy, misdirection, and conversation to deceive and amaze an audience.
Because of the secrecy inherent in magic it can be a difficult subject to research and learn. Magicians are required to take an oath promising not to reveal the secrets of their art to anyone who has not taken the same oath. This has traditionally made magic a difficult are to break in to.
Great magicians spend years or decades perfecting their art and overnight success for a magician is all but unheard of. However, today it is easier than ever for the aspiring magician to acquire research materials, meet other magicians, and become great magicians themselves.
The first stop any new magician should take on his path to mastery of the unknown is a dark and mysterious place – the local library.
The library likely houses more books on the art of magic than any other place in town, and they are all free for your use. Many libraries have excellent DVD collections as well. Instead of spending all your money on new tricks and fancy DVD box sets, go to the library and take out a whole volume of books on magic for free. Dai Vernon, one of the greatest sleight of hand magicians of all time, had memorized “The Expert at the Card Table” by the time he was thirteen.
Meeting other magicians is an important aspect of becoming one yourself. Knowing other magicians will give you access to more information and tricks, trusted peers to practice in front of, and people to creatively brainstorm and work through tricks with.
There are many places you can go to meet other magicians. They can almost always be found at the local magic shop. There are also magic clubs that have chapters all over the world. In America the major organizations are SAM (Society of American Magicians) and IBM (International Brotherhood of Magicians). In Los Angeles the Academy of Magic is contained in Magic Castle, a place you definitely want to be if you are an aspiring magician in LA. In England they have The Magic Circle and in Austria they have the Magic Club of Vienna. It’s pretty likely there is a magic club by you.
Magic conventions are another option for meeting fellow magicians and sharing ideas. Magic conventions can be found all over the world, and you can often find out about them through the local magic club. Hundreds or thousands of magicians attend and they are a great way to learn about new tricks, get pointers or try to network.
The path to becoming a magician is a long and arduous one. By focusing on books and meeting other magicians as you get your start a lot of money can be saved. Many magicians start by going out and buying the latest tricks, but these can cost up to $100 for one trick. By reading books and talking to other magicians you can learn with only the use of a deck of cards or household objects. When it comes time to choose and purchase tricks the knowledge you have already gained will be indispensible.
