How Magic Develops Your Personality
By Harlan Tarbell
Harland Tarbell Magic gives you confidence. That is a big factor in developing a strong personality -- confidence. First you must study and practice faithfully so that the presentation of your tricks may be excellent. Then you will gain confidence in your ability to present your tricks with skill and effectiveness. This confidence will be apparent to the audience and it will convey to them the impression that you have a strong, positive personality. And, indeed, this confidence will develop your personality and will enable you to make a strong impression in performing.

You know how confidence works in a social way. At a party or at a club gathering, it is always the fellow with confidence in himself who is the popular one. He is the man with "personality plus." Very often this man has developed his personality through some talent -- he may sing or play the piano, or he may be a good storyteller. Now, just think what an advantage you have over even this established favorite.

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.
