To become a magician, it's not enough to learn a few simple tricks, like card tricks, and show them to your friends. A true wizard must constantly improve his skills and look for new ways to surprise the audience.
Learn from other magicians

Each magician has his own set of tricks and tricks in his arsenal. In addition, they work in different directions and use completely different methods to interact with their audience. Look at the work of different magicians and learn from those you like best.
Some illusionists write their own books where they reveal the secrets of their craft. Visit libraries or buy such books in stores. Read them very carefully, they will help you in the future to develop your own style of work, as well as to master many difficult tricks.
Help from outside
Try to find an already established, professional magician and ask him to become your teacher. This is the most correct and easiest way to become a real magician. Your main task is to listen to the advice that your teacher will give you, to be ready for criticism and learn to accept it. This person, most likely, will not reveal to you the secrets of his craft, but he will show you exactly what to look for when performing tricks and teach you how to work with your audience. If you don't have the opportunity to use the advice of professionals, you will have to learn from your own mistakes. Such training will take more time, but with the proper approach, it will certainly bring results.
Be original
Once you figure out which direction to go in, you will need to start thinking about your own tricks as well as your style of work. You will not be able to constantly rely on other people's experience, copying their tricks and manner of dialogue with the public. Originality is one of the most important qualities that every magician should possess. Nobody wants to see the same tricks performed by different magicians all the time.
Prepare your performances carefully
Organization and preparation are other qualities that a magician must possess. Train your stunts to automatism, do not make mistakes in front of the audience, this is the main mistake you can make. Be sure to consider the audience you are speaking to. Different tricks and tricks can be designed for different age groups. Finally, make sure your surroundings are conducive to the success of your stunt. For example, do not allow spectators to appear in unexpected places near you, this can lead to a disruption of the performance.
