Cheap Magic --
Not You, Right?

Being a magician is all about creating an image. Wouldn't you agree?
You pick a personality you can live with, and then work to create a larger-than-life stage version of it.
As a clown or comedic magician, you might want to create the image of a lovable character.
A close-up magician would probably want to be perceived as a "class act."
This makes sense, right?
Of course, you can play the part of an evil sorcerer. For me, since I am a nice guy, I more often play the part of a ... amiable, and skilled trickster.
Some readers of this article won't like the direction this article is about to go ...
If you would live the part of a classy magician, then be a classy magician.
You want to be classy anyway, right?
Be original in you patter. No matter how good the other guy's line sounds, it's still his (or her) patter.
Avoid buying from knock-off companies ...
By being incredibly honest in your magic, internally, you will feel like a classier individual. A high-class magician.
Your reputation will precede you as well.
Your peers will respect you. After all, you aren't the one stealing their routines. You are too creative for that.
Do you know anyone who wants to build his or her reputation as a magician?
