How Your Success as a Magician Depends on Your Personality
First impressions can make or break you. The first few moments that you are before your audience are the
crucial moments. In a flash your audience decides whether they like you or not, and whether you are a
Magician or not. It is vitally important that in those first few moments you sell yourself to your audience. You
must get their good will right at the start.
This first impression depends on your personality and you must study the essentials which will gain for
you the good will of your audience.
A person may have ability but if his personality is weak, he can never be really successful. The impression
he makes on his audience is negative and he is either forgotten as soon as his performance is over or else he is
remembered as a poor performer. So remember these things:
1 - Know your tricks perfectly.
2 - Be confident in your ability to present them.
3 - Give your patter in a strong, forceful manner.
4 - Try to maintain always a natural manner.
To sum it all up --
You must have a strong personality to be a success at Magic.
Magic helps you to develop the personality which success at Magic requires.
