What To Say When Performing Magic?
This often causes problems for people. Well, there is a very easy answer to that, you just tell a lie. You come up with a believable lie and the words come by themselves.
Use your imagination and have fun. Find your lie. You’ve got it when it is chuckling in your stomach and you
look forward to telling it.It has to be a believable lie and you have to have fun with it. The lie has to make you chuckle. You can make people believe in anything. Do it with a twinkle in your eye or be deadly serious.
the most annoying thing is sometimes, when people start performing, they think they must speak with a theatre-voice. Your way of speaking should not sound like you were reading something out loud. You are not a parrot. Speak with your natural voice. Speak like you always speak, -the way you talk to your friends. Remember spectators are your friends. So Talk with your own voice
Remember you don’t have to learn a whole speech word by word. It is always a good idea to write everything down. But when you perform, it is much better to use your speech as a set-off and then improvise.
Don’t be scared of the word improvise. It is just like in everyday life. When talking to your friends or relatives you improvise new words and sentences all the time. If you didn’t you would be a robot. The difference between speaking to friends and an audience is not that big.
