Recently we had a professional magician and online magic store owner Joel Dickinson on our podcast, and for those that don’t know…
…nearly every time we’ve interviewed a magician on our podcast, we’ve recorded a ‘bonus’ session that goes deep into concepts and secrets that we didn’t share on the main recording.
This time we talked about a topic that is quite possibly one of the most important in magic:
What are the best ways to interact with our audience both on stage and during close-up magic?
In this interview Joel also discusses:
- The WORST advice Joel Dickinson ever received (we guarantee it’s guidance you’re shamelessly following…)
- Why you should never start with one of your best effects (it’s ALL downhill from there.)
- Why all your close up magic has to be REALLY, REALLY strong (and why routines fall apart otherwise)
- How to put an audience at ease, and why if you don’t you might die a ‘quick death’ (metaphorically speaking…)
