Dressed For Success

So you have an awesome magic trick you want to perform on
somebody. You've practiced it thousands of times, perfected it
in front of the mirror and now are ready to take your act to the
streets...ok maybe not the streets but to one of your friends or
family members. But wait....what are you going to wear??? You
say What?, who cares what I am wearing?. Let me tell you
something, image and presentation is everything, it is like
giving your audience the total package. What is the first thing
people see?? It's you of course, this is your first chance to
make that great first impression on someone before even doing
your magic trick bit. You may think, I can wear anything to do
my magic trick and it will still wow them and you know what, you
are probably right, that is if you perform a great magic trick.
But you can take that to a whole other level, and that is with
your image. It's like shopping for a car, you first look at the
look of the car, the one that looks better is the one you will
check out, even though the uglier ...
... car may have the same sport
suspension and high powered engine underneath its covers, but
you see what I mean.

If you are dressed in just your regular jeans and T-Shirt and
performing tricks, yes you will still probably get great
reactions, but if you stepped up your dress code a bit, believe
me, you will leave even a more lasting impression to your
audience. Think about it for a minute....think of all the great
magicians out there from David Blaine, David Copperfield, Lance
Burton, and the list goes on way beyond the people I mention
here, you have an image in your head when I mention these people
to you, right??? David Blaine, he wears nothing to fancy but he
is usually in a nice black collared shirt and black pants, that
gives him that mysterious look....David Copperfield, always
dressed up to the T for his shows. Now I am not saying go out
and wear a tux or your best suede suit to perform, but be aware
of what your are wearing, it can be the difference from a good
performance to a great performance.
