Methods Of Creating Magic Tricks
 |
When you watch David Blaine on YouTube, have you ever wondered how he produces something from thin air? What does a magician do when he wants to create a new magic effect?
He may have three choices. First, he can go through his personal magic library manually and search for ideas. Second, he can create one himself. Third, he can buy someone else’s creation. With the help of the internet and YouTube and stuff, the process becomes easier.
Of course, the deliberate decision to add an effect of a definite nature is not the usual way the average magician adds to his routine or repertoire. The usual trick is added by the run-of-the-mill magical enthusiast simply because something in the number appeals to him. It might be the appearance of the apparatus. Or the apparent profundity of the method, the deceptive feature. Or the comedy potentialities. Or any of a number of other factors. I’m convinced this is not the correct way to add program material. It seems far better to me to add material from the viewpoint of its importance in adding entertainment value to the performer’s routine.
First method magicians would use when attempting to add an effect to his routine, is to search for the tricks or gimmicks that achieve the general effect. Taking production as an example, there are thousands of tricks that provide such effect. But the trick being chosen usually determines what kind of object is used. Like the raven, it is only suitable for vanishing small magnetic objects. After deciding what object to be used, the magician then modify it to suit his use.
The somewhat more exacting magician will usually adopt the second method. Here, he will decide to add some type of production or mysterious appearance. Before embarking upon his search, he will determine the object or objects with which he wishes to accomplish the effect. Then, as before, he will make the search. But this investigation is not so general. Specifically, he knows what he wants to cause to appear. His hunt is limited to tricks in which the desired object is used. If he fails in his search, or if the tricks he finds do not seem satisfactory to him, usually he will decide upon a second object to take the place of the first choice. Then he makes the search all over again.
Creativity is the origin of Magic. Exercise your creativity, stretch yourself and construct a brand new routine for yourself!
