Magic Lessons For You
The best way to learn magic is to watch the professionals do it. Unfortunately, most people don't live in Hollywood, California, and can't travel on a daily basis to The Magic Castle to see the professionals there! However, there are many ways to learn magic. Magic lessons after all come in different forms. Most people start the easy way - checking a few books out of the library. These books will cover all kinds of tricks that the amateur magician can do at home. And it's perfectly possible to learn magic out of books - they wouldn't be published, otherwise!
But, some people learn fine from books, others need to see the tricks demonstrated to them, which is where lessons on video come in. There are websites where these lessons are offered for free, and others where you pay a small fee to be able to view them. Those ones typically are from really well-known magicians who are putting their reputation on the line by teaching you this material - so you know it will be good.
Probably the most expensive, but also the best, way to learn magic lessons is to have a professional magician train you in all aspects of the craft!
If you want to become a professional magician, you have to look at yourself honestly. Do you like performing in front of dozens of people? Even thousands - if you're on stage in Las Vegas or New York... or even St. Paul! Are you quick-witted, with a gift for patter? And do you have the time it takes to become an expert?
If so - it's time to start taking lessons! You can find a professional to teach you magic lessons or teach yourself using a good resource. Either way, you would want to start small, get your feet underneath you, before you move up to performing on the national stage.
