You may just like the idea of learning a few easy magic tricks or you may want to become a professional magician but whatever your plans you have to start at the beginning.
To become a skilled magician takes years of practice. Learning how to handle the cards in a way that looks natural and perfectly normal while disguising the fact that you have done something surreptitiously with one or more of the cards in the pack.
You need to develop your performance behaviour and manner to make the audience warm to you and see your movements as perfectly normal as you transfer items from hand to hand, slip things into or out of your pockets and do those things that magicians must do to appear magical.
To be a successful magician requires you to be a good stage performer but you can manage a few tricks without needing too much stage craft. A few simple tricks will amaze your friends and family just don't give away the secrets of how it is done.
How To Be A Magician - Practice
If you like the idea and want to learn how to be a magician you should start out with some really simple tricks so you feel confident performing magic tricks. Card tricks are a good choice as they require no preparation other than having a pack of cards to hand.
If you want to be successful as a magician even if all you ever do is perform for friends you need to practice. Some people are naturally talented in manipulating cards and objects but even the best need to practice. You need to get so good it become natural for you to make the movements necessary. Your fingers need to know where to go and what to do without you needing to think about it.
Many of the magic techniques you need can be practice while you watch television or listen to music and this is a good way to practice because your attention is not totally on the subject at hand. It will become easier for you to perform these magic tricks and manipulations while you are talking to your audience and thinking about your next trick.
Types Of Magic Tricks
There are as many magic trick in the wrld as there are objects. You can disappear a ring or disappear an elephant. The trick may be similar but it would be seen as a different trick.
There several main types of trick and most people tend to specialize in one type of trick for most of their act and for the hobbyist magician it is probably best to refine one type of magic to a good level rather than try to perorm many different types of tricks.
You will need props for many types of magic trick but you can buy magic tricks and props online without too much difficulty. Some of the large tricks need large equipment so cost and storage can become an issue but when starting out this will not be a problem for you.

Hi, Tim, magicians and magic tricks have a universal appeal whether it's a coin or card trick or like David Copperfield, making an airliner disappear!
It is certainly fascinating, especially when you are young. Later on you know it is a drick but it is still fascinating. Thanks for the hub.
Great hub Practice makes perfect well said.
Good Hub....Magic is meant to be fun for the one doing the magic and the ones watching. I like your advice "To be a successful magician requires you to be a good stage performer but you can manage a few tricks without needing too much stage craft. A few simple tricks will amaze your friends and family." Good magicians have 4 or 5 tricks that they can do very well. This allows them to engage with the participants or on-lookers better. The more engaging a magician is the better the entertainment. Tricks that you can do rather easily, with practice, as you point out, are the key to engagement and good/entertaining magic.
