Code of Professional Magician

3. Train more. Bring the execution of focus to automatism, do not be self-confident. If misfires and inaccuracies occur during the stunt, try to eradicate them in the study phase, and do not rely on luck and luck.
4. Do not tell the viewer what will happen next. He can guess where to look, and what to look for. And never repeat the trick twice, no matter how you are asked.

Where to begin?

For a start it is better to choose simple, but spectacular tricks. Beginner training can be started with card tricks. They develop finger motility well and are easy to perform. The most popular tricks for beginners are based on the fact that the viewer selects a card from the deck, and the illusionist guesses it. There are two difficulties in performing this trick.

• 
  Divide the deck into two parts, keep the top for yourself, and give the bottom to the viewer. Ask him to choose any card and remember it. When you collect the deck, remember the bottom card from your half, it will be a guide when searching. For the confidence of the observer, slightly shuffle the deck, and then remove the previous card in front of the one that you remember, it should be correct.
• To complicate the focus, it is better to remember the location of the cards during the shift of the deck. And to further enhance the effect of surprise, you can manipulate the transformation. To do this, put the correct penultimate card in the deck, and on top cover another and show it to the observer. Naturally, he will say that you were mistaken, but that is the whole point. After turning the deck over and spoiling it on the trouser leg or edge of the shirt, and then make a fraudulent movement as if you are taking out the last card, but actually take the one you want, the penultimate one.
  

And again the cards

There are other tricks for beginners. For example, a trick with the appearance of a card from the void looks very spectacular. To do this, grip the right corner of the short side between the index and middle fingers, and the left - between the ring and little fingers. Make sure that the edges are not visible to the viewer. After that, bend all four fingers into the palm of your hand and grab the card from above. To do this, hold it between your thumb and middle finger. Straighten your hand, and the card miraculously appears in your palm! At first glance, this is very difficult, so do the movements slowly and gradually increase the speed.

Tricks for beginners can be given to you by an experienced illusionist, and if you wish and with a lot of patience, you can master the tricks yourself. As soon as you learn how to cope with cards, boldly move on to manipulating balls, rubber bands and bills.
