A practical look at live entertainment and acting techniques for magicians


Finding Your True Magic is a book about the difficulties magicians face as performers. Unlike other books dealing with magic and showmanship - which are written from magicians’ solemn points of view - this text is authored from a fresh theatrical perspective, offering a new angle on magic and the particular requirements of live entertainment.


Finding Your True Magic covers specific areas that may prove necessary for any novice or professional magician, focusing on acting, rehearsing, warming up, scripting routines, piecing together a show, and working with self-image and promotion. The most important aspect of Finding Your True Magic is that it emphasizes the magician’s natural qualities and assets instead of their acquired talents.
