hey im Dan (13 AH) i mostly been doing card tricks, but after watching faking it last night im thinking of dabbing into the world of prop tricks!

anyway hi!!!

P.s any 1 have any tips for a young magician anyway? i can do a fair few tricks ( bout 20? ) but i need some idea for some new 1's!

No one is gonna welcome me?

Hi Monsterz. I'm sure that you will get many more welcomes when people wake up. It is a bank holiday after all.

lol tu-sha by the way how do i post videos? i wanna show people a trick i did,

Hi Monsterz - welcome to Talk Magic.

yay lol im welcome!

Hello monsterz and welcome.

Ok...The "wrinklies" are in Bank Holiday mode so patience will serve you well!

You will, in due course, be guided through the various functions of the forum...be calm.

In terms of tricks...remember what Kevin ended up doing? He practiced the same set of (6 or so) tricks in routine form over and over and over. He blended them together so one flowed to another. Entertaining the audience was FIRST on his list. He did well at first in terms of being able to DO the tricks.... but it was living hell for him because he didn't present them WELL!!

I ain't about numbers of tricks monsterz...it's about how well you entertain people with them...how confident and calm you seem...how well your chosen tricks and your style makes people laugh, smile and enjoy the whole story of the trick unfolding...not how quickly you can hammer through them and get onto the next thing that fools them.

Get that right bub and you'll rock the world!

ill try problem is most of my tricks are basic, i can only think of 1 trick that really gets people going, all the other tricks people like but they have seen it done 1,000 times before i really need to find a jaw dropping trick and the fact that im 13 and cant order things on the net dont help

Nothing wrong with basic when you're starting out! Basic gives you the opportunity to gain confidence, as well as other things.

yea i surpose, how do i post a video like every1 else, cause i wana see what people thing of my tricks and how i can make em better,

Not sure myself but have a look in the help files. I this doesn't help then I'd suggest that you PM a Mod or someone who's already posted video files for advice.

Good luck

Welcome to the forum. Always nice to see new people

Better late than never.......I put my clocks back instead of forward so there is a good excuse! (Back 4 days.....but I rectified that now)

So WELCOME to TM !!
