The Art Of Performing Magic

The Art Of Performing Magic

Last night, May 8, 2006, I watched the David Blaine special on ABC. All I can say is WOW! His objective was to hold his breath under water for 9 minutes bound in chains and after having been living under water for a week. He didn’t make the nine minutes but there’s no way anybody could call what he did a failure.

He was brilliant! During the show there were several pieces of him doing street magic which is how he started his career. Each piece was a lesson to any want-to-be magician of the art of performing magic.

He is a genius as mesmerizing an audience...large or small...on the street. He was wonderful with the kids that he taught how to tie shoe laces with no hands. You dont believe me? He did and it was hypnotic.

Part of the secret to David’s success is that he is willing to do whatever he needs to do to prepare for success. He lost 40 or 50 pounds in order to get into shape for this attempted stunt and worked hard to get in top physical condition. He trained with Navy Seals and visited with people who have the mentality for achieving success like Evil Knivel.

Performing magic is an art and one that requires many hours of practice and wholehearted devotion. If you have the desire to become a performing magician or just want to learn some parlor tricks to amaze your friends with, you cant go wrong by visiting the Ellusionist web site and learning all you can from a master performer.

Every great artist has his detractors. The critics that call him a “show off” or “crazy” are probably taking notes and wishing they can be as successful at being a crazy show-off as David Blaine.
