How To Do Card Tricks Tips
Practice, practice, practice. Make sure that you have the card trick down pat before you perform it in front of an audience. Even if you emphasize the newness of the trick or claim that it's the "first time" that you have done the trick, you will want to execute the trick perfectly.
Not only should the card trick itself be practiced, your patter should be practiced as well. The story behind the card trick is a way to not only entertain your audience, the story is also a method of keeping your audience from seeing what you don't want them to see.
Pour on the drama. Weighty pauses at the right moment can increase the tension. Drama also helps focus your audience's attention on where you want their attention to be, for example, on the card in your hard or on your face.
You want to be prepared for the unexpected from your audience. You should plan in advance what you will say to a heckler, even a good natured one, so that he doesn't completely disrupt your performance. If you do well, you can use the person as part of the show and as part of your misdirection.
Speaking of which, audience participation is terrific. It will make your audience feel that the card tricks that you are performing are less likely to be completely faked.
Add new tricks to your repertoire. You don't want to get stale. In addition, if you repeat the same tricks over and over, a repeat audience may get bored, or worse, become annoying.
If you have fun, your audience will have fun.
