How to get started (5 quick steps)
- Learn one prop (e.g., sponge ball) and its basic vanish/restore.
- Practice the handling slowly, then at performance speed.
- Add a simple patter line and audience interaction.
- Rehearse transition into a second trick for a 2–3 minute routine.
- Perform for friends, note reactions, refine timing.
Performance tips
- Keep patter conversational and short.
- Use misdirection with a question or smile, not exaggerated gestures.
- Repeat only when the trick benefits from repetition (builds suspense).
- Always have a clean, practiced ending (a visual payoff).
