How to Learn Magic Tricks
One question people ask me as a professional London magician is 'can anyone learn magic?'. The short answer is yes. Like any skill, the ability to learn magic has something to do with what skills you have to begin with. But there is also so much you can do to learn and improve what it takes to become a good magician. Here is a guide of some of the skills good magicians improve on a regular basis. They are also essential for anyone who wants to understand how to learn magic tricks.
Manual Dexterity
No surprise, when doing sleight of hand style magic, manual dexterity is a must. But do not worry if you are 'two left thumbs' (the magic equivalent of two left feet!). There are actually many kinds of magicians who do not rely on manual dexterity to perform their repertoire. You might want check out the page all about thirteen very different types of magicians.
Presentation and Theatrical Skills
Magic is performing art. Be careful of magic videos you see all over YouTube that are all about clever finger work with cards or coins. That might be OK on camera but magic in the outside world needs many more qualities to hold an audience. When you do magic, your public speaking skills will be centre stage. If you really want to improve as a magic peformer, you might want to find a theatre skills or clowning course. Make no mistake: all of the skills you learn there will improve your magic.
Psychology
There are so many applied psychology techniques in good magic. Why people think what they think is a fascinating and bottomless field of psychology that is a big part of what makes every magic performance work (or not!).
The topic of psychology also spills over into interpersonal skills which are essential in a good magician when interacting with an audience. A magician needs to 'read' their audience. This is done by looking and listening, and maybe adjusting how they are doing the performance based on what they see or hear.
Memory
Skills in memory are valuable in learning magic in many ways. It could be remembering the moves in the routine. Or it could be memorising a script. There are also lots of routines especially with cards where memory devices are put to good use to perform absolute miracles for the audience! But forget the magic for a second. if you just remember your audience members' names you will have accomplished a feat every magician will be remembered for.
Creativity
Working on magic develops your creativity. Magicians who want to fly can not stop gravity. Others who want to walk on water can not make it instantly solid. And magicians who want to cut themselves in half can not really defy the laws of physics. Magicians are working with constraints all the time. With those constraints, their creativity has to save the day to help them solve problems and make those impossible things happen in the audience's eyes.
Perseverance
Magic practice and rehearsal mean you need to stick with it long enough to improve. Just remember: step by step, you will get there. Do you want to know how to learn magic tricks effectively, practice well and not waste your time? If so, then read this article on how to practice magic.
How to start magic training
Top Tips to begin In MagicLearning magic is easier than you might think. You can perform impressive magic at any skill level. The most important thing to understand is this: no matter how simple the secret may seem, you must give your routine quality practice and rehearsal time before you perform it for an audience. Instead of a 'trick' to play on someone, if you treat magic like a gift you are giving your audience, you are on the beginning of an exciting journey. Here are five valuable tips on how to begin learning magic.
FIND YOUR FAVOURITE TYPE
If you want to learn how to become a magician, first you might want to browse some of the types of magicians there are. Pick your favourite type and then you will have a better idea of what area you might like to explore first.
FOCUS DOWN
It may be tempting to learn a dozen tricks in your first month. Resist the temptation! It is much better to learn a few routines really really well than to have a bag full of sloppy seconds and thirds (and fourths!).
PRACTICE & REHEARSE
Practicing is learning your moves and script. Rehearsing is performing to no one as if you were really doing it for an audience. To become a good magician, you need to do both. Always practice and rehearse more than you think you need to. Then wait a week and do it more again. After that, you are probably ready to perform it for a few friends. Then find some new people to perform it for. And then, find some more! Each time will become easier and more fun. If you want some pro advice on how to get the most out of your practice, check out this magic practice techniques article.
LEARN FROM THE AUDIENCE
Pay attention to what the audience likes. If you have practiced and rehearsed you probably will not make a disaster of it. But if something does go wrong, it is not the end of the world! Learn from it and it will go better next time. The best magicians are those who have not been afraid of making the mistakes.
LEARN FROM A MENTOR
After you have done all the steps above for a while, you will become an even better magician when you find a mentor to learn from. This is someone who knows the ropes and someone who is good with teaching. Find someone with experience in the kind of magic you like, and who has a track record with teaching. In the UK, the Young Magicians Club of The Magic Circle is a great place for budding magicians to get their feet wet. For adult students of magic the Mystery and Magic School in Las Vegas has excellent resources for this both online and in person.
LEARN FROM MAGIC BOOKS
The secret of great magiciansIn this guide you will learn the best kept secret of great magicians. There are so many enjoyable ways to get into magic. Magic shops are exciting places to buy magic from. There is also so much magic online and video teaching that is available at your fingertips. Magic clubs like The Magic Circle can also be fun places to meet other magicians and learn from each other. All this is great but above all you must make magic books the foundation of your craft.
A trick you buy from a shop gives you a thrill. But only a book gives you an understanding of how to really be good. When people learn from a video they tend to copy what they see and hear. But when they learn magic from a book, they will interpret the words and moves to suit them as individuals. A magician can spend the same amount of money for one trick from a shop as they will for a book that gives them so much more material to perform as well as value.
Here are just a few great books to start learning all about magic at beginner and intermediate levels.

Reviews for "The Versatile Design of Kessebohmer Magic Corner Cabinets"
1. John - 1 star
I purchased the Kessebohmer magic corner expecting it to solve all my storage problems in the kitchen, but I was sorely disappointed. The corner unit was flimsy and did not hold up well to everyday use. The shelves were difficult to pull out and often got stuck. Additionally, the overall design did not make efficient use of the corner space, resulting in wasted storage potential. I would not recommend this product to anyone looking to optimize their kitchen storage.
2. Amy - 2 stars
I had high hopes for the Kessebohmer magic corner, but it fell short of my expectations. The installation process was complicated and time-consuming, requiring multiple adjustments to get it to fit properly. Once installed, the corner unit was not as functional as I had hoped. The shelves did not slide out smoothly, making it difficult to access items stored in the back. The materials used also felt cheap and not very durable. Overall, I was disappointed with the performance and quality of this product.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
The Kessebohmer magic corner did not work well for me. Despite following the installation instructions carefully, the unit did not fit properly in my corner cabinet. I had to make additional modifications to get it to function somewhat, but even then, the shelves did not glide smoothly. The limited weight capacity was also a drawback as it could not hold heavier items. The design could use some improvement to better maximize storage space and provide a more user-friendly experience. I would recommend considering other options before investing in this product.
4. Mike - 3 stars
Although the Kessebohmer magic corner has its benefits, I found some drawbacks that made me question its overall value. While it did provide extra storage in my kitchen, the corner unit's mechanism was not very sturdy. The shelves did not slide out effortlessly and seemed to be made from lower-quality materials. Additionally, it was not as space-efficient as I had hoped, with wasted space in the back corners. For the price, I expected better functionality and durability. It may work for some, but personally, I would explore other options before settling for this product.
