hey guys Vonbodan here I was sent a
message or more of a question and I
wanted to make a video to address it the
question that was sent to me and I
thought would make a good good video
maybe this is something that something
you have been thinking about um was
practice you know how do you go about
practice and you know how many hours do
you practice you know when do you
practice things of that nature um and
this varies from magician to magician um
but it's just like any any art form if
you're a painter you know you you you
have certain brush techniques that you
you know you need to do to to get the
lines where they are nice and smooth you
know
dry brushing and this that and
everything clay sculpting you know and
you've got different tools to use and
magic is no different in that respect
you know you have different techniques
to do what you need to do so practice is
essential
um to giving your presentation your
performance the you know the shine shall
we say um you know a lot of magicians
will tell you you know perform in front
of a mirror and before my camera I try
to use both of those um even the videos
that I make and put on on YouTube
sometimes you know I've recorded them
you know six and seven eight and twelve
times you know because I wanted to get
certain view a certain look and until I
get there it's just gonna bug me so you
know when you're practicing practice in
front of a mirror and try it from
different angles in the mirror and then
go to a camera the thing that I do when
I'm learning a new routine is I break it
down in segments I practice once sleight
that's in it until it looks really good
then go on to the next one in the next
one and then start putting the effect
together to get that that whole piece of
uh of the effect done the thing that I
find is a lot of people try to you know
rush through and you know do it as
quickly as they seen the person that
came up with the effect does it and you
know that's not good because people are
different skill levels and there's moves
that I do that I know that some of you
other magicians are like gosh that is
awful looking and that's fine you're
entitled to that thought in that opinion
the thing that we need to do is get
ourselves to where we're comfortable
enough with the moves that when you
perform them for spectators you leave
them with that sense of I just saw magic
not I just saw something but I don't
know if it was magic so a few tips on
Praticing
to see I'm a firm believer in practicing
something cold what I mean by that is
practice and start off you know do do
the same move you know for 30 minutes
and then stop put it down put it away or
move on to a different different thing
and then later come back to it it's easy
I'll put it to you this way in
basketball terms it's easy to slam dunk
those balls one after another after
you've gotten warmed up it's an entirely
different story to get that first one
but if you practice cold and you get it
that first time then come back later and
practice cold and you get it in the next
time it'll make make it a lot easier
during a performance with spectators
because we have all kinds other things
that are going through our mind you know
show jitters and you know the thoughts
that go through our mind which we'll
cover on a different video about you
know are they gonna like what I what
I've put together because that's what
magic is when you're putting effects
together and you're putting you into it
it's it's your child it's your baby it's
what you've created and sometimes we you
know maybe not all magicians I have you
know where I worry that people aren't
gonna like what I put together that
maybe my magic is a little too dark for
them or you know it's too much of this
or too much of that or you know am i
giving them the von Baden that they
you expected well--that's I'm getting
off on a tangent here but practice cold
practice on video and do your practices
from different angles even if the what
you're working on isn't angle sensitive
do it from different angles and you will
be able to see what spectators would see
around you another thing is when you're
practicing and I do say practice some in
front of the mirror because what it's
gonna do is it's going to train your
brain to be watching the mirror instead
of watching your hands because that
right there is something I see people do
quite a bit is they watch their hands
when they're doing that that tricky
tricky sleight of hand and your
spectators are going to watch where your
gaze goes so if you practice in front of
the mirror and you're looking into the
mirror which by all intensive of purposes
if you were performing for someone would
be a spectator you're looking at the
spectator spectators come and look at
you
which takes the heat off your hands of
whatever it is you're doing so enough of
this rantin and Ravin here I wanted to
address that um as far as practice like
I said practice cold practice in front
of a mirror watching yourself practice
in front of a camera recording yourself
get different angles different views
break down effects to sleight practice
those sleights and then slowly put them
all together and I hope that helps some
of you and like I said I'm sure there's
other magicians here who have different
views so by all means what are some of
your practice tips what
some of the things that you do and it
doesn't even have to be with just magic
you know what what you know people who
paint and sculpt and stuff like that or
write music they don't just go and go in
there and just do it they they have to
practice so maybe some tips from other
things would be helpful for people so if
you're new to my channel hit that
subscribe button it's a little bell icon
that way you're notified when I post new
videos
alright thanks and I'll see you on the
next video bye
