The Small Detail That Makes All the Difference in a Magic Act

Hey everyone,

I've been kicking around an idea for a while now that seems simple, but it's really changed how I look at my own effects: paying attention to the little details.

I'm talking about those gestures, phrases, or silences we sometimes forget, and that can make an average effect look truly professional.

Here are a few examples:

Swapping out an automatic phrase ('pick a card') for a more considered one ('take your time, and when you feel that it's the card, take it out').

Mind your pacing; don't rush, even if the trick is simple.

Asking yourself: what does the audience *really* see and hear, not what I think they see?

Now, I'm curious to hear from all of you:

What was that 'little detail' you changed that really made your routine shine?

It could be a gesture, a pause, a phrase, a look...

If you feel like it, share it here. I'm sure it'll help more than one of us polish what we've already got going.😊

P.S. By the way, this isn't super important, but it's been bugging me a little. My username was randomly generated; I really don't like it, and I can't change it now, so if anyone thought it was weird, now you have an explanation.🤣🤣
