My First Parlor Magic Show

Tip: Design your show as an emotional journey, not just a series of tricks.

It's not enough to simply string together impressive effects. Think:

• What will the audience feel at the beginning, in the middle, at the end?
• What story are you telling, even if it's implicit?
• What is your magical voice? Are you a dreamer, a mad inventor, an explorer of mystery?

👉 The key is in the structure:

Start with something relatable and engaging to win over the audience.

Then build the wonder, alternating rhythms.

And finish with an effect that not only surprises... but touches the soul.

💡 As Tamariz said: “The strongest effect should go at the end, but the most beautiful one should linger in their memory.”

@sergi:

It's the one with the bowling ball production from a notebook.

Could you share a video of someone performing that trick????

That rings a bell, but I can't remember who I saw do it 😅.

@sergi:

if anyone can give me tips for creating a show,

It's the one with the bowling ball appearance from a notepad.

The effect of the bowling ball appearance from a notepad or notebook is generally known as "Bowling Ball from Sketchpad" or simply "Sketchpad Ball Appearance". It's a creation widely popularized by Kevin James.

Hey there, I think I know what you're talking about. I don't know the name of the effect, but it uses a Gimmick, which you could probably make yourself. Basically, the ball is already behind the notebook from the start (which isn't really revealing anything, as it's obvious it doesn't just appear out of thin air).

How you attach or secure it is up to you. But I wouldn't use a bowling ball. I'd go for something lighter. To try it out, maybe two tennis balls would work. Though I'd probably use a mini basketball.

Since we're not supposed to reveal effects, I've tried to be pretty clear without making it too obvious.

If that doesn't make sense, I'll try to explain it differently.

Magical regards! 🪄🫡
