What is “Magic” for you guys?

What is “Magic” for you? (Good question huh?). Many times i was faced with this question. And many times i locate this question by not an simple answer. Instead of a story. And in this section probably have the meaning of the questions above by the experience i’ve throughout in my career in the “Showbiz Magic.”

Magic = Something about where we can feel, hear, see, or create something magical for you or anyone else. As a magician (Entertainer) we are required to be able to give something that is attractive to the audience so they can be comforted by what we do. And for me personally, as an entertainer we don’t need to be funny, mysterious, magical, etc.. All you need is “Interesting”. Which can make people feel their fun to be near you. And when you can get it. Congratulations! Because you just won this game.

Many times.. I’ve heard complaints from some “Amateur Magician”. They’re complained after their perform as an entertainer. Example:

• “Aw, there is one audience who don’t like magic”
• “Doh, He’s so Heckler” (Heckler: Someone who feels understood about how the magic done.. based on his logic. And waiting for the failure of the magician itself)
• Bad Performance had reason.. “Well, I’m not in a good mood to perform.”

And this is the answer / solution from questions above..

• From your childhood till now.. you always hearing or having your favourite music.. dont you? Magic are just like music, I believe.. It’s so hard for someone to say, “I dont like music ..” Just really silly to me if there are people who say this. Depending on what kind of music they like. So did the magic. Depends on our presentation. And what kind of magic according to the situation on location. example: you’re playing “Wire through Cheek” (a sharp wire through the skin of our cheeks) at a restaurant. “This is really not fit at all!”
• “Heckling” is something that is fair and will be frequently faced by a magician. Many amateur magicians against this with their emotions. However, we should remember that they’re also included as part of your performance. Respect your audience. And Heckler are people who can’t enjoy the magic that you provide. In his mind is just how that can happen. And remember, your goal is to entertain, and Heckler will feel winning those game if you make a fatal error and embarrass you.. Simply for me.. (IMHO) if you meet a creature like this should leave that guy with a smile.:)
• Mandatory understandable because is an amateur magician. A professional would not be involve their performance he/she gave with their mood. Just as the Comedian. They are required to make an interesting performance, although the comedian was also in sadness..

Ps. This note is not sacrosanct. It’s opinionated. When you agree with a point, reinforce it with underline. When you see something that resonates with your situation or performance style, dog-ear the corners. reference from “Maximum Entertainment” by : Ken Weber.
