HOWDY from Essex.

Postby MagicalSmithy » Apr 29th, '09, 23:18



Hello My name is Justen I am an amateur street magician specialising in card magic.....I als dabble in stage magic (main focus of my practice right now).

I am joining this forum in ah ope to get some tips to help with my stage anxiety I supose you could say my general butterflies when performing which cause me to drop card when practicing.

Also I would like to find a magic guild in my local area.

But most of all I would like to meet and talk to loads of magicians from all walks of life.

Smithy.

Hi and welcome, there are a few previous threads with tips about relaxing and minimising those pre-show anxieties, have a look at http://www.talkmagic.co.uk/ftopic29828.php and see if it helps, if not give the Search function a go and see what you can find :wink: .

Thank you very much.....I was lurking for a bit and I have sent a couple of PMs looking for inexperienced magicians who want to gain experience.

Hiya Justen, welcome to TM.

I think that nerves are natural to a point, I'm terrible before either going out on stage or approaching my first spectators in a close up situation. More than once, I've made myself sick because of nerves before a gig but once I get out there things just seem to slot into place. It'll be the same for you, the more experience you get, the easier you'll find coping with the nerves.

Hi Justen, Where in Essex do you hail from? I used to live in East Hanningfield, (Between Chelmsford and Southend) and most of my family lived in Brentwood.

Also Welcome to TM!
