Choose Your Favorite Type Of Magic Trick
Magic is loved by most people. Still it is a too entertaining event, either it is on up front in a show room or on the television. The fact that you are right there, watching so closely, and still are stunned and surprised by what the magician does is something that never gets old. You would assume that being in front of the magician can give you an advantage – however it rarely does. You’re amazed again!
All kinds of magic is entertaining, but most people have a favorite type of magic trick. There’s usually one kind that seems more spectacular, or more amazing, than another kind. Which kind is it for you?
Close-up Magic – When You’re Right There
Magic tricks that are performed on a table – often green, with fringe over the edge – are considered “close-up magic”. These tricks take advantage of both the proximity of the audience and the table as a surface to work on. Close-up magic can also be done by strolling magicians, but they generally do card or coin tricks that don’t need a table to work on.
Which effects are used for close-up magic? Common close-up magic tricks are also some of the most familiar – card tricks work well, as do coin tricks. When you see close-up magic, you usually feel that you will see how it is done – which is something that people think is an accomplishment.
Parlor Magic – Like The Good Old Days
Back decades ago, people hosting a party in their home would often have a magician perform for their guests. The magician would stand up in front of the room and the guests would face the magician. Since the audience is further away, usually the effects aren’t performed on a small table, as they can be with close-up magic. The effects need to be bigger, and not need a table. Common magic tricks easy to perform as parlor magic are feats of mentalism, magic squares (math magic), and the linking rings.
Palace Magic – Smoke And Mirrors, Live Animals
The largest venue for magic tricks is the stage show, often referred to as “palace magic.” That’s the type they often show on television. This type of magic show needs to feature large effects, ones that can more easily be seen by a large audience. Generally speaking, card tricksand coin tricks have no place here, as they wouldn’t be able to be appreciated by the vast majority of the audience. Some sample magic tricks of this type are metamorphosis (where the magician and the assistant change places in the blink of an eye), and making something appear or disappear. Sawing a woman in half, levitations, and larger, drama-like shows that incorporate magic tricks also are common in this type of setting.
