Learning The Tricks: Buy Or Make Your Props Part 2
For beginner magicians, it is a combination of skills, talents,
and acquired tricks that brings magic to life. However, for
those who haven't really tried any magic at all, there is one
question always asked - "Do they have to buy the props for their
tricks or just make them themselves?" Don't worry tips and
practical suggestions will be given as readers go along this
article.
The only problem with learning different tricks for beginners is
that they do not know what is in store for them in the magic
world. Before even buying or trying anything, the very first
thing that they will have to do is get books that relate to
magic that tackle the different areas of magic and then decide
which specific magic tricks they will be focusing on. Once this
has been decided, watch a few magic shows or with magicians that
do such tricks. It will be very thrilling of course and the
beginner will end up buying a lot of stuff almost everytime. The
experience they get from just seeing a lot of the supplies in
magic stores that provide a lot of samples and information about
how such trick will be made with its effect is very pleasing to
the eyes. It's like giving the beginner the idea that he'll soon
be an expert and very powerful. Just the thought of young men
gasping and young women fantasizing gives him the chills.
On the other hand, buying more of the supplies and props for the
trick is not as important as really knowing all the secrets and
skills to perform such trick. Some aspiring magicians have
wasted months and even years in buying the props they needed
only to realize in the end that they should have done things
differently. Effort should be exerted more in understanding and
practicing a specific trick thoroughly. Instead of buying props
and supplies, books should be bought. Even videos that show how
to do the trick is not as helpful as doing it personally and
visualizing the action when reading.
Here are tips in order to specialize on a specific trick before
investing in a lot of materials:
