Rarely do I get excited about the many free e-books I am sent through the different dealers of magic I do business with. While most of them are okay, the majority of them are just a way to get me exited about spending my money on something else.
Today I was sent an e-book from The Merchant of Magic titled "How to Learn Magic Tricks." Simple enough title. So I thought I would give it a look. I'm glad I did. This e-books not only talks about the best ways to learn magic tricks, but also how to purchase and perform them. It goes into the "why"s of magic. Why did you purchase this trick? Why are your feelings about your purchase often different once you learned the "secret"? What questions should you ask yourself when purchasing "the next big thing." And what is the 20/20/20 method? I'm not associated with The Merchant of Magic in any way, but I had to share the link (with permission in the e-book) with the rest of you who may not get it. It's a fast, fun read and I believe there is something in this e-book for everyone to learn no matter how long you've been performing. The Magic Café even gets a shout out in the book! http://t.hsms03.com/e1t/c/*VwTp-58cCZ97W......1Zq8L702 Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

The best advice in that is "If the only reason you picked it was because it fooled you, chances are it’s probably not the right trick to work on next. You need to choose your magic by more than just your ability to 'work it out'." Man, have I been burned by that. I've also learned that some of the ones I COULD figure out went over a lot better than the ones which fooled me.
Thanks for posting this. |

Thanks for posting this link. The eBook will be ideal for my two current students. I've been trying to communicate some of those ideas to them for some time.
