The best tip for learning magic tricks is to study each trick carefully by taking your time. Stick to learning only a few tricks a month. Don't flood your brain with too much at a time, it is much wiser to give your self enough time to master a few tricks before rushing into learning too many at a time.
You can start with learning easy tricks, such as:
*Balancing Ping Pong Ball
*Cut & Restored Bank Notes Illusion
*Crushed & Restored Coke Can
When you have become skilled at such tricks, you are ready to learn more difficult tricks, such as:
*Arm Twist Illusion
*Impromptu Cigarette Vanish
Just keep in mind that practice makes perfect. This applies to learning magic tricks just as with anything else you do in life. When learning from books, start from page one. Too many people race through the magic tricks book, trying to pick out bits they are eager to learn, and end up not really learning much at all.
When practicing your magic tricks, make use of video cameras rather than mirrors if you can. That way you can see what you both look and sound like from the spectator's perspective. You can watch the recording over and over again, see what works and what doesn't. Keep recording - and watching yourself until you have mastered the tricks you are learning.
What do you think most magicians fear most? You guessed right! That their act will go wrong, or they will mess their show up because their nerves let them down. Therefore make sure you can almost show your magic tricks blindfolded, before showing them to a crowd of people. But just enjoy yourself and entertain your audience, maybe that is the biggest Magic Trick of all!
