Chapter 390: The Beginning of the Street
Mo Qi put away the poker, saw many fans speaking and asking questions, and said with a smile: "I know that many enthusiasts practice magic tricks just to be handsome, perform for their friends, and some even want to go out on the streets and become the center of attention, right?"
"I'll give you some advice, since you're going out to do the streets, clothing is actually a key point, you can't wear it too casually, so that the audience's first impression is not good, which is not conducive to the magic later. I recommend jeans + shirts, so it doesn't look too casual and it doesn't feel very formal, you can't go out on the street and wear a tuxedo. ”
"It is also important to choose magic, the first effect should be obvious, strong, and give people a sense of light. The second interaction is very important, you are not alone in the street, but you interact with the audience appropriately, bringing the audience into magic and magic. ”
"Thirdly, if you are going to perform on the street for the first time, try not to do too heavy magic tricks, and the first time you perform is nervous, for example, when I was on the street for the first time, my hands trembled a lot. When your hands are shaking, you give me a pass, give me a flower cut, and eighty percent of the double flips are all problems. So the first performance. My suggestion is that it is best to choose prop magic, and after you have experience, it will be better to do some magic tricks, otherwise, you will fail if you mess up. ”
"Before the performance, you must be ready, when you finish a performance, and others happen to see it, just say, young man, come and play for me, you can't say, wait, I'm ready, try to prepare two kinds of magic, or, prepare two sets of props, after the performance once, others want to watch, immediately take out another set of props to perform.
"As for the audience's choice, try to choose those who are between 15~29 and over 30, they will think that you are a liar, and look at you with the eyes of a liar. Below 15, sometimes, will snatch your playing cards in between, and it is easy to disrupt the rhythm. ”
"If you're a man, want to be well reflected. Very good effect, it is best to choose girls, girls will really be surprised, you and the girls will be well encouraged to perform, and there is a sense of accomplishment. Same-sex audiences will be very calm, basically asking how did you do it? Probably because the boy wants to break the casserole and ask to the end, he always asks to the end. ”
"If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will see a lot of couples, and it is fun to perform for couples, but you should pay attention to a few points: first, you can't just show for women, then men will be very disgusted, don't look for me when they are smashed! Thirdly, for couples, try to play the kind of blessing magic, and the magic trick specially performed for couples will be more popular. ”
"Generally speaking, it's just what kind of audience you're looking for, and if they're busy, they're definitely not going to watch your magic, so based on the lessons I've summed up so many times.... It's just people who sit in the rest area, and they are usually bored waiting for people, so you must be very welcome to go. For example, KFC, there are a lot of people who are bored there and milk tea. Going to the show is basically onlookers, and don't go to some stores, if you don't buy something, you may be kicked out by the boss. If you go to the supermarket, don't play with the salesperson, they have rules and will be deducted from your salary.
"The language is like the usual close-up magic, a little humorous, but in addition, when facing the audience, introduce yourself first, for example, I am XXX of magic miracles, I am doing a street magic, do you have 2 minutes? If the answer is yes, then just continue the magic. If the answer is no, say, sorry for the interruption, at least be polite. ”
First of all, as a magic performer, your appearance is extremely important, it conveys your personal identity and can also create the audience's first feeling about you. The magician plays a role that is inherently magical, so if the costume is more normal during the performance, the magic atmosphere will be weakened.
For example, Chris, as long as you look closely, it is not difficult to find that every time he performs on stage, he will work his appearance, black clothes, black nails and jewelry accessories on his body, so that he makes a different character, a character with magical powers, and looks more comfortable, so that the audience can more easily integrate into your whole performance.
A good performance is inseparable from good background music. Same set of magic, but if you choose a different background music, the audience will have a different feeling. Take, for example, the dancing cane. There is a dancing cane in the performance of the magician in this episode of the competition, and the background music is an interlude from the X-Files, the rhythm of the music is a bit flat, and the magic effect is there, but the audience may be more focused on intoxicating or slowly enjoying the magic trick, rather than the screams of passion.
In the same competition, another magician also had a dancing cane performance, and the background music he used was dragon rises, which had a unique sense of rhythm and passion, so when he performed, the audience would give warm applause and screams, and the kind of passion that burst out showed that the music had a great impact on the audience's viewing mood.
Stage magician, because you can't communicate with the audience with words, you can only talk to them through your body, your facial expressions. On stage, you should be open, through your own limbs, performance to arouse the passion of the audience, for example, a big effect or look at the audience a little cold when put your hand to your ear, at this time the audience will return with warm applause, so as to bring the passion of the audience to achieve **!
Some people will ask: What if the audience doesn't give applause or the audience is too "cold"? Hehe, in fact, most of these problems are related to the performer, as a magician, the principle is to entertain the audience, since you are on this stage, you have to find a way to make the audience like you and cooperate with you in the few minutes you are on stage.
This can be achieved in many ways, such as smiling at the audience, or making funny expressions and movements, rather than standing on the stage and making the audience think that you are a particularly unpleasant person, or too arrogant or something. If you perform very well and the effect is very exciting, the audience will generally cooperate with you. Therefore, it is very important to communicate with the audience, so that you can bring the magician closer to the audience and let them enter your magic show together!
The melody of the background music should match the external image. Dressed too formally should not be paired with loud background music, and more open or hip-hop performances should not be paired with more elegant music, but with more passionate, exciting music!
Secondly, the limbs and expressions should follow the background music, in this regard, I think the magician Chen Baihong (POKER) did a better job, in the Grand Magic Championship, his performance, the appearance of the image, background music, body, expression of the cooperation to the fullest! This can be used music editing software to add the appropriate explosion point in the background music for large effects, such a match, more or less there will be a sense of dance, so isn't it a good magic show?
