A number of components make up a good performance. Follow these tips and you will become a true magical entertainer:

1. Practice. And practice. You must have practiced your routine over and over until you can do it without a hitch. Master all your tricks, and then do them in front of the mirror to ensure that your sleights and palmings can’t be detected. Once you have everything perfect – practice some more!

2. Read lots of books on magic and watch plenty of videos. Find out what sorts of tricks are appealing to you. Join a magician’s club and learn from the experts. Absorb as much information as you can before you give a performance.

3. Good entertainers in the magic world create a character for themselves and have a ‘patter’ going throughout their act. Your patter is very important. Use it to tell a story, distract the audience, keep them laughing – whatever. Do what works for you. Many famous magicians don’t use patter, their acts are completely silent but when starting out patter is an important part of the act. It can help with the nerves and it can help you out when a trick goes wrong. Know your on-stage character well before you start. Putting on your magician’s outfit should help you get into character and prepare you for your show.

4. Be confident. If you are confident your tricks will come off much better. How do you become confident? See Tip 1.

5. Some of your tricks may rely on illusion so you will need to ensure that the audience sits where you want them. Remember your angles and how important they are to some of your tricks. You don't want a trick spoiled if a spectator glimpses a palming effect or a sleight of hand. Have the seating arrangement in order before you start and keep the audience seated throughout your act.

6. When you select the tricks for your show, use all your best ones. Have a list of all the tricks you are going to perform. Start with ones that are visual such as using scarves or handkerchiefs. Keep your favorites, the ones you are best at, for the end. You want the show to end on a high note!

7. Are you going to have an assistant? A magician’s assistant can add glamour or humor to an act.

8. Keep your act simple, especially when you are starting out. Where possible, borrow your props from the audience (pens, coins, bills etc). It will make your act seem more ‘real’ if you don’t always use stage props.

9. Only do each trick once. Resist the temptation to repeat a particularly good trick.

10. Never tell your audience how the trick was done. Remember the magician’s code – keep it a mystery.
