In Him, I am

1. Learn from a great magic teacher.
2. Invest in the best instructional magic materials you can find.
3. Practice magic tricks as often as possible, especially in front of a mirror.
4. Perform effects that are simple and direct.
5. Share your magic in a slow and deliberate manner.
6. Involve your audience as much as you can.
7. Resist the temptation to share the secrets behind an illusion. People will only be disappointed.
8. Remember that knowing the secret behind an illusion doesn’t make you a magician. Knowing how to perform the illusion makes you a magician.
9. Make the magic your own. Only when you bring something of your unique self to the performance does it become real magic.
