My name is Ben Nemzer and I am a magician.
One of my specialties is close up magic which
is magic with ordinary objects stacks of cards,
ropes, rubber bands and I do that all over
New York City.
I'm going to teach you some of the basics
of magic that you guys can start performing
right away.
Best way to be a good magician is to do as
much magic as you can for real people or real
audiences but before you can get to that step
you really have to practice.
You want to learn as much as you can and then
you want to practice and it's really important
to find somebody who you can practice for
whether it's your parents, a sibling, a friend,
a roommate, a teacher , anyone who you can
show magic to and who will honestly tell you
whether it's good or not and then you can
go do it for real people.
You know I was always told and it's definitely
what I'm sure that the more shows that you
do bring close to the show that you wanted.
And you're never going to be perfect, there's
no such thing as a perfect magic show or a
perfect magician but the only way to get good
is to keep practicing and keep performing
and keep learning.
