Everyone thinks that magicians are very good on stage, but in fact, it is rare to see magicians practice and rehearse in private, and any performance is ten minutes on stage and ten minutes off the stage. I remember that the Magic Society practiced in the basement. Everyone practiced very hard, but there was one thing missing, that is, the mirror, there was no mirror in the basement, and in the eyes of the performers, they couldn't see how their performance was, so they could only listen to the comments of some seniors and make corrections, so to practice magic, in my opinion, the mirror is a must.

For the off-stage kung fu, that is, the practice of magic, what I mean by on-stage and off-stage, is the stage and the camera, everywhere is the stage, magic has no local limitations, as long as you are ready to perform for others, it is on stage, whether you are facing magic or not.

The success of on-stage performances is based on off-stage kung fu, which is why I first mentioned the term "off-stage kung fu".

First of all, as a "kung fu under the stage" I will start with the basics, the usual practice of magic, not only limited to the technique, the process of magic is more important than the technique, we learn, not to copy, but to understand the principle and idea used by the inventor of magic, just like different magic, different effects, but the techniques they use are the same, this is the process, now to learn is this kind of thinking, of course, this is based on a certain magic technique.

However, it is okay to have no foundation in magic, you can learn simple magic tricks first, and then learn techniques from them, just like when I was learning a magic process, Elmsley Count was difficult for me to beat. So I put it down and practiced Elmsley Count, and then I went back to the magic process when I was done, which was also a good way to accumulate tricks and learn tricks through magic. But the disadvantage is that it limits the creation of magic. He might as well have more things in his head after learning all the techniques in unison. Naturally, there is a lot of inspiration.

Secondly, in magic practice, you must master the angle, many magic tricks need angles, just like a simple break, if you are from behind or from the back you should be able to see the cat inside. Therefore, the mirror is particularly important, so that you are both a magician and an audience, and when you yourself observe the magic from the mirror and can't see the trick, it means that the magic should be able to be performed on the stage. At the same time, the mirror is also a thing that can be practiced misleading, for example, when you are practicing, you are looking at yourself from the mirror, so your attention is not on your own hands and practicing at the same time. Of course, I'll talk about misguidance later, so it's not convenient to talk about it here.

Finally, don't forget that what you're practicing is not only your hands, but also your mouth. When I was on stage, I felt that the magician spoke very naturally, but in fact, all the words have been tempered and polished thousands of times, and while speaking, I must coordinate well with the movements in my hands. That's the perfect misbooting. For the technique, it is to keep practicing, don't envy how superb other people's techniques are, no one knows when they practice, but don't be in a hurry, you can't reach it quickly, it is necessary to lay a good foundation, teach everyone a good way, when there is a technique that is insurmountable, don't deliberately practice it, you can practice magic, or watch TV in between, unintentionally play this technique, you will naturally learn, my finger rolling, and spinning the cut is how it is promoted.

After learning any magic trick, it is not over, but after each performance, you have to find out what needs to be improved, whether it is language or technique, what you have to do offstage is to keep practicing and keep improving. This is "off-stage kung fu".

The key point of magic is not to change, it should be the most basic, you must practice the basic skills solidly, and then perform for others, don't make the performance like a decryption.

The whole magic from the beginning, change, the end is a set of coherent, rigorous process, this complete process is magic, not only the change, every word said, every action done on the audience's heart, how to affect the sight, should know in advance, don't say more should not say, do not do more actions that should not be done, for the changes in the audience's heart and the problems that the audience may ask, they should have a plan in advance.

It is highly recommended that you take a look at Cyril's ring magic performed in variety shows, in fact, the process of ring change is very simple, but Cyril uses the audience's curiosity to repeatedly change this magic trick in different ways, and finally ends perfectly, so that the audience can not see flaws in the ring when they check it casually, this is the difference between a master and an ordinary magician.

What magic tricks to perform on what occasion, you should know in your heart, some magic tricks can only be performed by the audience from a characteristic angle, such as David's classic grandfather 4A magic, after this magic novice learns, it is very suitable to make a video, but if you want to perform in ordinary life, unless the audience can only be on the front.

Magic is not just imitating other people's teachings, you must have your own creativity in it, although Jay Chou's magic is not very high, but he added the whole person's toys to the magic, which also had an unexpected effect, which is also a very creative performance.

Casually said, in short, I hope that everyone can treat magic seriously, and the more rigorous and well-prepared they are, the better the effect of magic. At the same time, I would like to ask you to talk more about magic beyond these techniques.

Anyone who has learned magic has an inexplicable desire to perform, and this desire forces us to perform all kinds of magic tricks when we can. This is something I deserve to talk about, and I hope you read it carefully.

It is good to learn magic to perform in front of the audience, but magic requires a smooth performance, but the fluency of magic is not only whether you are skilled or not, but also your aura and your mastery of the atmosphere, which requires you to have a lot of experience to do. I don't approve of novices performing in crowded places, novices are absolutely confident before the performance, but the tension in the process is unpredictable for novices. So in the performance, most people can see that you are nervous, which is very bad.

I talked about nervousness, and the reason for nervousness is because of your lack of experience. You may say that you are inexperienced, so you should perform more to gain experience. This view is wrong, if you are nervous every time you perform, then you don't need such an experience. What you have to do is to be able to understand what you are going to do every step clearly and fluently in your mind before the performance, even a month before, and that's the most important thing. Of course, what I said before is to make a transition to the current theme, the mystery of magic. I think the mystery of magic is manifested in the mystery of the effect and the mystery of itself. I'm going to talk about the latter, the mystery of itself, the mystery of itself, it's very simple, I'll give you an example. If you perform magic tricks all day long and show them to the people around you, do you think the audience will get tired? Do you want to watch it when you're tired? If you keep it hidden and perform it when the atmosphere is right? Which do you think is better?

Magic itself is mysterious, and I advocate that it is better not to perform it, and if it is to be performed at a very opportune time. Usually you have to let people think of you as a hidden magician and shoot at the right time.
