The Worth Of Finding A Wedding Magician

By Andrew Edmonds

When arrangements are made for a wedding, many different plans must be made. The colors, the location, the reception, the wedding dress, and numerous small as well as large things are involved. If time is rather short it may be time to engage a Wedding Magician in the form of a family member or some other knowledgeable person to help with decision-making as well as ensuring tasks are completed on time. Those who can pull off the party of the century are truly magicians in every sense of the word.

When to ask for help in planning a wedding, reception, or honeymoon is based on individual preference which is often impacted by time and resources. Some people are able to take over from the start and need no assistance. Others, who have not done much planning feel overwhelmed from the very beginning. If this is the case then it is time to decide just how much help is needed. A couple planning a wedding should sit down and decide what they will do together and when the help of others is required.

It is not unusual for someone faced with making all the decisions connected to a wedding to feel a little intimidated by all the details involved. Asking someone for assistance does not lower anyone's regard for the person involved, rather they admire someone who is willing to ask rather than make unnecessary mistakes. When a person recognizes their own limitations it is a reflection of their personal character and others appreciate that quality in them.

It is common for the bride-to-be to ask her mother or a close relative to assist her in choosing her wedding gown. The color theme for the wedding is sometimes agreed on with the groom, but usually this is the bride's job. The bridesmaids usually accompany the bride in trying on different styles for their dresses with the bride choosing the color. For those who serve in the role of wedding magician, or wedding planner, this selection helps set the theme for the wedding and determines many other elements of the wedding and reception.

As a couple, the bride and groom have certain responsibilities that cannot be designated to others, although suggestions are always invited. Among these are the minister, the church, and honeymoon destination. Once these decisions are made, the other elements such as the reception site, wedding cake design, and floral arrangements can be designed and ordered with the bride and groom's consent.

Many times the bride's parents, who finance the wedding, are overlooked but definitely belong in the Wedding Magician category. Not only do they agree with almost everything their daughter decides, but support any reasonable decisions she may make. They are caught up in the excitement of the moment and pass this on to their daughter so she can really enjoy the moment. Additionally, not only financially ensuring the wedding is a magical experience, they also often complete many of the tasks themselves.

For those who desire an outstanding wedding, but do not feel confident in making important choices alone and lack the know-how or time to get it all done by themselves, a wedding planner can work magic in achieving the countless tasks required of a wedding. The wedding planner will consult with the couple regarding any decisions or suggestions as to what they may desire. This can include, but not be limited to, the flowers, the reception food, decorations, specifics of the church ceremony, arranging for a caterer, hiring the limousine, or anything else that is needed.

Who is the Wedding Magician? It is the person or persons who assist in creating an event which will be fascinating and fabulous for all who attend. These behind the scenes people are outstanding in their own right. The excitement on the newlywed couple's faces, their happiness, and the goodwill shown by all makes the day a joyous occasion by showing the true magic of the occasion. - 31879

Have Some Fun At A Wedding Reception With A Wedding Magician

By Andrew Edmonds

Most people who plan weddings have a lot of things to thing about, but it probably slips their mind to consider hiring a wedding magician to help with the entertainment. But those who have experienced this type of entertainment at a wedding reception have stated that it was one of the best receptions that they have been to.

There are plenty of things that a magician can do to make a wedding reception fun and memorable. Any relatively talented magician can help make a reception more enjoyable for who attend.

If you have ever been to a wedding, you know from experience that it takes quite some time for the bride and groom to finally be able to get together with the rest of their guests. They usually have so many pictures to take and other miscellaneous things to do before they can come join the crowd. This can lead to some uncomfortable moments during the reception. With a wedding magician, that can be changed. A magician can walk around and mingle with the crowd while entertaining them as he or she goes around the reception area.

Almost every wedding seems to have a DJ of some sort for their major entertainment, but sometimes people need a break from the music, and perhaps don't feel like dancing. A nice touch after a meal could be adding a wedding magician that can perform for the crowd for 30 to 45 minutes. Depending upon the act the magician can thrill them and/or fill them with laughter. All depends upon what type of magician that might be hired.

Everyone knows there is always bound to be some children at a wedding and the reception. Everyone also knows that children can get really bored, really fast at a wedding. So a wedding magician can share his or her talents with the children which will no doubt put a smile on any child's face at the wedding reception.

If you might be someone that practices magic and might be thinking of specializing in wedding magic. The first and foremost thing you might want to do is make sure that your business cards and handout information stipulates that you specialize in wedding receptions. You don't want them thinking you do magic for any occasion.

Make up some nice Take One displays and then ask if you can put them up at all your local florists and wedding stores. This is a good and free way to get your name out to those planning a wedding.

It is vital that the person who might be considering a wedding magician for their wedding reception be able to easily contact you via phone or a website. People who are planning a wedding want to be able to contact businesses with ease or they will go elsewhere.

Since DJs are almost a must for today's wedding receptions, it might be a wise idea for the magician to contact some local DJs to see if they wouldn't mind working with you and offer the wedding couple or planner a packaged deal for the wedding.

One more way that a wedding magician might find is a good way to promote their business is to set up a booth at wedding shows. This should have information and photos showing why their business would benefit the happy couples wedding day. - 31879

How To Apply Spiritual Abilities To Enthrall Crowds and Have Them Pleading For More

By Miles Sunkest

There are few things that mesmerize and entertain people more engagingly that a gifted performer who is on top of his craft. And of all the performers, from singers to dancers to actors, none can deliver their gift to the audience with such incredible precision as magicians.

Many people see a magician perform and then have a wish or fantasy of being able to perform magic tricks for others. But unfortunately, for many, they soon give this up as they fear that it is too much work, or involves too much time. While this may be true if your goal is to perform on stage or on television, the truth is that if you wish only to perform for friends, families, and the occasional party, learning magic tricks has never been easier.

The first kind of trick that you'll need to learn is the basic skills of sleight of hand. This a most versatile skill that you can use with any small household object. Cards, coins, rings, and other jewelry are perfect for this, and never cease to amaze people.

An additional trick that is both incredibly powerful and surprisingly easy to learn is pseudo psychic skills. Sometimes called cold reading, these are when you demonstrate you psychic abilities. In truth, these are based on simple principles of psychology and mathematics. But they give you the appearance of being a gifted psychic.

Another skill that is often overlooked is the skill of public speaking. Half of the magical performance is in the delivery. When you learn to tell an engaging story as you are performing your tricks, you will shoot your magic up to a new level.

When you spend just a few hours to learn these simple skills ,they will have a powerful effect on others when you put them together. Doing magic and captivating the imagination of rooms full of people will become second nature, and you will enjoy the popularity of a rock star. - 31879

How This Mentalist Changed My Awareness Forever

By Miles Sunkest

Last week I was riding my bike downtown. All of a sudden my buddies pulled up in this big pickup truck. They said we were going this club. They told me to throw my bike in the back, and we'd be off and running. I thought it was going to be some really lame open mic night at some bookstore, but what I saw made he question the very fabric of reality itself.

When we showed up to where this place was, I simply followed her inside. I probably shouldn't have been so thoughtless, and in retrospect it may have been pretty dangerous, what I did. But nonetheless, next thing I know I was sitting in this plush, red leather chair. And for some strange reason, I didn't feel like moving, at all.

Then this really tall guy came out on this stage. For some reason I thought I was on the only one there, until I heard all these people clapping. It turns out I was at some kind of magic show, or a mentalist show. This guy started doing some pretty crafty illusions, but nothing that I hadn't seen on TV.

What happened next is when it started to get really weird. He started walking around the crowd and picking people at random. He would stop, look at somebody, and then tell them their whole life story. I was pretty sure this was set up, but then he walked up to me and did the same thing. So of course, I thought maybe my friends had given him my information, that it was all some big prank or something.

After that he raised his hands and commanded the clouds that were up in the sky to swirl around in these strange patterns. Again, the skeptic in me is sure there was some kind of video projection deal going on, but I couldn't find any evidence of it. Then he went through and thanked everyone in the audience, calling out their name, address, and phone number. Kind of like an implicit warning not to tell anybody about this weirdness.

The only reason I remember any of this is I had my cell phone recording the whole thing. But when I came home, it turns out all the language spoken that day was in the ancient language of Sumerian, which I've never studied. I had to hire an expert to translate it so I knew what transpired. Now how's that for a weird day? - 31879

Why Should I Hire A Wedding Magician For My Big Day?

By Andrew Edmonds

A lot of people when they set back and begin to think about their wedding day, first think about obtaining flowers and different momentum's for guests and things of that nature. However, with many modern day weddings, a lot of people are actually thinking about obtaining a wedding magician.

A person's wedding day can be a very tiring, yet joyful day. There are so many things that must get accomplished in this one day that often times the guests that are at your wedding are shunned aside. No one means to leave their guests out of the mix, but with the array of pictures that have to be taken its hard to avoid this dilemma.

With obtaining a wedding magician you will be able to ensure that your guests are entertained for the entire course of your wedding day. While you are out taking your pictures, or doing one thing or another with your new spouse on your special day, your guests can always have someone that is paying attention to them. Thus, allowing your guests to feel as though they are welcomed.

In most instances whenever a wedding photographer declares that they want to take photographs of you and your spouse, they normally pull you away from your wedding party. This can cause your wedding to seem dull to your guests that are not involved in the photographs being taken.

During your wedding meal is also a great time to have a magician entertain everyone as well. Anytime, that your wedding situation seems to settle down, consider this a great time to throw a magician into the mix in order to liven up the party.

Perhaps one of the best times to bring your magician out is at your wedding reception. The reception is used for a chance for everyone to settle down after the long day. Often times, the reception is a time of dancing and celebration. However, not everyone dances and everyone loves magic so why not mix the both of them together?

When it comes to choosing a magician for your wedding, it is imperative that you commence in a good deal of research before making your final decision. You want to ensure that the magician that you are obtaining is skilled in their craft, and not just a hoax or someone looking for a way to make a quick dollar.

Some magicians may allow you the option to see them perform. However, if the magician that you are hiring, normally only performs at weddings you may need to meet with them outside of their performance in order to analyze the skills that the particular magician that you are interested in hiring has.

For the most part, every magician has their very own kit of tricks and things that they carry around with them. Ask the magician that you are opting to hire to show you different things in their bags and ask what types of tricks that they utilize their kit for.

It is imperative, that you do not base your decision to hire a magician solely off of the kit that they carry around with them. Ask as many questions as you can to the magician that you are opting to obtain and if you can't witness one of their performances ask them to show you some random magic when you meet. - 31879

The Incredibly Amazing Magician

By Miles Sunkest

I had a most interesting experience last Saturday night. Usually I just sit around and watch TV, but a friend called and said his brother had gotten some tickets to this show. It was some kind of magic show. I'd never really been interested in magic, up to now at least.

The last time I saw a magician, was at this community center when I was about ten years old. If I remember correctly, he did some basic card tricks, some sleight of hand, and he had those big metal rings that he clicked in and out of each other. The thing I remember the most about him was how the adults were saying that he was just an average magician.

But the guy we saw the other night was way different. He didn't just do some basic tricks, he did these things that I didn't even think were possible. I don't even remember this guys name, but he had the whole crowd completely mesmerized during the entire show. The way people were looking at him, I really wanted to learn some magic tricks on my own.

He started off with what had to be some general warm ups. Basic tricks, card tricks, pulling stuff out of thing air, making roses turn into basketballs, common things like that. He did a few psychic tricks where he guessed information about people like their birthdays and stuff. Nothing that you couldn't really learn off the Internet.

After that he really shocked everybody. He walked around, and talked to a few people. Some people he would lean in and touch on the shoulder. Some people's hands he shocked. Then he went back up on stage and started telling these really lame, but long winded jokes. And while he was doing that, all the people that he touched physically came up on stage. Like they were zombies or something.

Once they were up on stage, they started doing all these tricks, like juggling, and doing handstands and stuff. It was like he was controlling their minds or something. If you ever get a chance to see this guy, make sure you do. He is incredible. - 31879

Three Magic Tricks Secrets Revealed

By John Jasmino

Professional Magicians won't reveal how they do the magic tricks. It's a sworn to secrecy oath for magicians not to tell anyone how a magic trick is done. Here are three secrets though that they've shared all throughout the years. Here are their three secrets.

The first secret is that some tricks are done through sleight of hand. These are means with which they skillfully hide an object and make it re-emerge on another hand. New magicians hide things up their sleeves. Those are old tricks and very few used them today.

Sleights of hand take a lot of time and practice to master. Beginners of magic tricks use specially made gimmicks to create their illusions. Professional magicians take advantage of their impressive sleight of hand. It requires a lot of time, patience and hand coordination to fully understand and do correctly.

Another magic trick secret is the art of misdirection. See this blank paper? And as audience looks at the blank paper, he is carefully getting another piece with his other hand. This is misdirection. Another type of misdirection is the kind that doesn't let the audience see what's really causing the tricks. You might have seen that a magician has a lot of assistants who also do incredible stuff, but what you didn't know is that they are helping the magician perform the magic just by being there.

Another kind of misdirection is the use of words. For example, a magician will tell you to look at the 'empty' box. We tend to look at the box as empty just because he said it. This makes our mind to wonder when the magician pulls a rabbit out of it.

Misdirection takes a lot of practice and lots of time in preparation. It involves body coordination (one body doing something while the other is doing another thing) and quick thinking. Misdirection is an art and magicians are self-respecting of it.

Another secret is their patter or a magician's continuous talk. Misdirection is achieved mostly because of patter. The magician will ask you to look at his right hand and as you are looking, you won't notice what his left hand is doing. This is a really clever way to achieve the illusion that what happens next becomes so magical with the wink of an eye.

Patter usually takes the form of a story, where a magician will tell you of something that happened to him in the past. Sometimes it's so amusing that we actually forget to look at what their hands are doing or what their assistants are giving them. These are the three magic tricks revealed. Don't tell anyone! - 31879

Let's Take A Look At Some Of The Fun And Easy Magic Tricks Found On The Internet

By Barb Church

Unless you grew up under a rock somewhere, you have been exposed to magicians at an early age, and like most people, have been fascinated and have loved the art for as long as you can remember. Well, here are a few easy ways to bring back that fascination you remember from long ago, and the thrill you still feel when magic is in the air, and you can be the performer this time, doing some of these easy magic tricks.

When you think of magic, what is the first thing that comes to mind---besides a magician, a hat, and a rabbit-----yep, a deck of playing cards. These few examples that follow are all done with just a deck of cards, nothing more, and can be learned easily. These are all found on the Internet under easy magic tricks. First, there is one called Dealing a Royal Flush----and this one will test your powers of communication, because there is more talk involved than skill. Then we have the Color Card Prediction which is simply a spectator choosing a card---puts it back in deck----and voila, it is the only different colored card in the deck. A couple of others that are fun are the Rising Card----a spectator chooses a card, inserts it back in deck, and you make it magically rise from the pack: and finally, Cutting the Aces, which will take a little practice, but is fun and worth it.

Next up we have all kinds of easy magic tricks that can be done with money----all kinds of money; dollar bills in any denomination and different types of coins. With coins you have a wide variety of tricks that can be found on the Internet if you just browse up magic tricks; some of the easier ones are the Vanishing Coin----you have 4 coins in your hand, close your hand, open, and there are 3. Learn how to do it. Or with bills: take 2 dollar bills in different denominations; roll together on a table, unroll them and the bill that was on the top is now on the bottom. TaDah!

Remember all the hoopla that surrounds Harry Potter and his gang at Hogwarts? Well, you can treat your kids or they can perform for their friends, some of these fun easy magic tricks based on Harry Potter-----just have the performer dressed in a long robe with large round glasses, and the mood is set for some great fun. Try this one call the Levitating Ring----someone's finger ring can be made to slowly rise up a pencil, or a magic wand----great stuff for kids; and then move right on into one called The Magnetic Hand. A hand of playing cards is fanned out and then appear to be lifted into the air as if they were glued to your hand by a magnet-----is that the best, or what. The kids will love it.

You're at a party and you want to try out some of the easy magic tricks you learned from browsing the Internet----so here's a good one to start with. This one is called Dark Magic and if you do it with panache it will wow the group in the room every time. You walk out of the room, someone in the room choses an object and points it out to everyone else in the room but doesn't move it, then you walk back in and immediately point to the chosen object and identify it. You will have gasps and whispers all around the room as you do it over and over again.

And what better place to try a little of your newly learned skills with easy magic tricks, than at the dinner table; and you can begin your routine with this one. The Butter Knife Through the Napkin trick that will leave them all with their mouths hanging open; and follow that with the Vanishing Toothpick, where you make a toothpick literally vanish into your hands. What a trick. Then there is always this old standby, where you take a spoon, make it look like you are bending it dramatically, and then you put it down showing all at the table that it is still perfectly straight. You will have people begging you to let on how you did it.

Yup, magic can be lots of fun and provide a few belly laughs all around, and what makes it even more fun is the fact that we all could be a magician of sorts if we wanted to. All that is necessary is to get to a computer, browse up easy magic tricks on the Internet, and practice a few of them until you get them to a point where you can perform them believably without screwing up and without fainting from fear. A good share of us are hams at heart, and performing these tricks is a fun way to express yourself when the time is right. - 31879

Amazing And Interesting Magic Tricks

By James Anthony

One of today's most popular performing arts is magic tricks. This art form is created to entertain people who are willing to be tricked by creating an illusion of the impossible. This happens right in front of the audiences eyes. The people that help to create these wonderful illusions are known as magicians.

The word Magic comes from the Latin word Magi. The Magi was a person who had the ability to read the stars and predict the future. One of the most famous creators of magic tricks was Harry Houdini. Not only was he an amazing magician, but he was the greatest escapologist to ever live.

Magic tricks are achieved with a sleight of hand, misdirection, mirrors or some other form of deception. What the magician is trying to achieve is a sense of bewilderment as he tries to perform a trick that is seemingly impossible.

But these magic tricks couldn't happen without a willing audience. Audience members going into a show know they are going to be deceived. They willingly agree to be entertained by an act that they know is mere trickery. But this act of magic tricks never ceases to amaze even the toughest of skeptics.

Houdini's main reason for success was because he earned the trust of his fans. He spent time debunking charlatans who claimed they had magical powers by showing how they performed their tricks but while also performing tricks of his own. Following suit today are magicians like Penn and Teller who perform the same stunts of magic and debunking.

For a long time in the U. S., magic tricks were thought to be mainly children's entertainment. This would change though with the revival of Doug Henning. He worked to bring the great magic tricks back to huge public audiences of adults and he became popular on television as well as on stage.

In the twentieth century, many illusionists have emerged that are simply amazing. Performers like David Blaine perform Houdini style magic tricks like escapes and physical endurance displays for his fans. Most of these magicians we see on television perform their magic tricks in front of a live audience in order to gain the trust of their television audience.

Most magic tricks today are based on the old principals of magic. The saying its all done with smoke and mirrors was a reference to how magic tricks were performed. However, most magicians today don't bother with mirrors, simply because they are too difficult to transport and set up.

There are different types of magic tricks that can be performed. Restoration tricks are where an object is destroyed first then brought back whole again. Transformation tricks are when objects change from one thing into another. Vanishing tricks are when the magician makes an object or person disappear and Production tricks are where he makes things appear out of nowhere.

Teleportation tricks are when the magician moves an object from one place to another or when two objects change places. Escapology is when the magician is typically restrained and works his way to escape to safety. Levitation is simply where the magician appears to defy gravity and Penetration is when the magician is able to make one solid object move through another. Most magic tricks today that are successful are a mixture of forms, making an entire show for the audience. - 31879

Fascinating Qualities Of Chinese Name Symbols

By Vicky liu

Chinese symbols seems never to lose its appeal whether inside china or outside. While the Chinese themselves hold them at a high esteem, the western civilization is much in awe of these symbols. Though the official Chinese language is formalizing its script and limiting the use of these symbols.

The Chinese symbols served a dual purpose of being a means of communication for the people as well as expression of art. The major reason why these symbols still have a world wide appeal is because they are so beautiful and extremely simple form of expression.

Mostly gaining popularity in the west are Chinese name symbols. People fancy posters, pictures, tattoos and any other kind of fashion or decoration accessories with their names written in Chinese symbols upon them. This is considered to be the latest fashion and is looked at as a highly revered and hip thing to do.

An individual's name in the form of a Chinese symbol says a lot about the person's personality. It doesn't matter if the others do not know how to read those Chinese symbols. What matters is that you know that this certain symbol stands for your name and when someone asks you can explain it to them.

What draws the people to translate their names to Chinese symbol is the physical beauty of these symbols. Once people get to know them they like to use these symbols like a logo which can be used for various purposes describing their personality.

The artistic expression behind these symbols is so interesting that they are adopted and appreciated at any corner of the world without knowingrealizing what they mean. You should be cautious only when you are using them to write your name as these symbols have specific meanings which have to match with your name.

Do not judge the symbols only by their artistic form and get them written for you as each symbol has its own precise meaning and it could become rather embarrassing if you get it done without knowing what it means.

If you want to get your name converted into a Chinese symbol then there are plenty of troublefree opportunities available to you in today's times. It is however highly advised not to try and copy your original name's phonetics in Chinese characters to get the other person to understand.

Such sounds will in actuality have no meaning whatsoever. The real deal is that when your name is converted into a Chinese symbol it will only be a roughly similar pronunciation of your original name. This is opposite to what most people conceive which is that they think the symbol is an actual translation of the name in the Chinese language. It is however the meaning that the symbol takes on which is of utmost importance. - 31879

The Real Secrets of Magic Tricks

By James Anthony

Lots of people can walk inside a magic shop and purchase a magic trick. However, by simply operating a magic trick does not make that person a magical performer or magician. The main magic trick is to create an atmosphere for the magic trick. Magic is a form of performing art. It is not enough to just perform a trick; It's up to the performer to create the unique magic. The main difference with a magician and a person who performs magic tricks is all in hte belief that the performer can create within his audience

Most magic shops cater to professional magicians and illusionists carries many illusions. Everything from rope tricks, balloon tricks, card tricks, are all just a few which most amateur magicians can learn without much difficulty. The main way in which the magic tricks are going to be presented is what creates the difference. If you would like to be convincing, take a little look at the way the professional magicians go about presenting their illusions

Comedy magicians have become extremely hip in recent years. Magicians will continue a running dialog of jokes and even appear to make tricks go wrong only to perform more dazzling magic tricks successfully later on. They distract their audiences by keeping them laughing and often use this incredible distraction to prepare their illusions. The comic magician, often famous for his amazing card tricks, would appear to be staggering drunk. The illusions of being drunk was perfect foil to the dexterity which is needed for his card tricks

Another method of misdirection that has become increasingly popular is the shock factor. This is a skill perfected by magicians like Chris Angel. He creates suspense by appearing to put himself in impossibly dangerous situations. In fact, some of these illusions do involve an element of risk and should not be attempted by amateurs. Even with preparation and care, some magic tricks which involves elements like fire, can go terribly wrong. A magic shop usually will not sell illusions that involve danger to non-professionals.

Before buying a magic trick from a magic shop, decide how you will present the magic trick in a way unique to yourself that will entertain your audience while misdirecting them. Most people know that magic is generally just a trick, yet people still want to believe it's real magic. The real magic is creating the suspension and disbelief in your audiences so that they genuinely believe in magic, even if only for the duration of your performance.

Learning the performance skills of an illusion is the easiest part of a magic trick. Instead creating an atmosphere bringing the impossible possible is the important part. Copperfield seems to spend an incredible time preparing his audience for the performing of one of his incredible illusions .... more than he spends performing the actual illusion. Kreskin the Amazing performs a mentalist act which he's able to make the audience suspend disbelief using subtle suggestions... a little like mass hypnosis. The Amazing Kreskin has written a great number of books and has often lectures police on the general use of way for recovering memories of witnesses and bringing out lies through the general observation of body language.

If you want your magic tricks to be convincing, look at the different illusions offered by your magic shop and consider how you would present them. Find an illusion that you know you can present in an entertaining and convincing way for your audience. Magic is a state of mind. - 31879

Casting Your Own Spells For The Best Results

By Kylie Johnson

Casting a magic spell is a complex task, with many results and repercussions that you may not expect, so you have to study the elements well before even attempting it. The basic principles are easy enough to understand by themselves, but these are complexly intertwined with one another.

* Learn the true of essence of magic
The true power of magic relies on how one understands it. With the proper knowledge, one will know how to cast and direct spells properly. Even more, it will teach an individual the extent of its use. In addition, understanding magic will inform a person that it is a form of manipulating energy. It also entails that energies are embodied through thought and visualization. The better the visualization of the caster, the better he can direct a spell. It will also enable him to control the magical energy that he has.

In addition, it is necessary that the person, at the start of the spell, knows what he really wants and needs from the spell. After that, one should feel the energy flowing freely. Then, it is vital to direct that energy accordingly.

If you would like to things to be brought to you, then it should be remembered that this should be done during full moon or new moon. You would know if for instance the moon is waning, the moment that it becomes dark when it actually began as a full moon. The moment that this occurs, you would have to do workings - like for instance you send away something.

* Write down your spell
Writing down the words that you will be mentioning in your spell will help you make your thoughts stronger. It can even help you to develop rhymes to better memorize the words or come up with a chant. The latter will give you more energy.

* Prepare your tools
Your tools are vital in spell casting. You just have to remember that the tools should have no natural powers and that they will only be used as support. Even more, you have to bless it to purify it.

* Consider proper timing
There are times that you have to consider to cast an effective spell, especially the timing of the moon.

To bring you your desires, spells should be cast during the full moon, to repel or get rid of what you don't want, you may have to wait for the moon to wane.

* Working out with the appropriate season
Aside from the moon, you also need to consider the season. There is always time for new things, maturing season, time to gain, and for rest and relaxation.

- You should always remember to cast a circle first before you proceed in doing the actual spell, in order to make it truly effective

- By being able to meditate, you would be able to relax and allow the energy that you need to freely flow through every part of your body and your mind should also be free of any kind of tension or in short, you should not be thinking about anything else except what you are about to do. - 31879

Magic has been used for thousands of years to entertain, and it never fails to impress today. Just a few tricks can make you the most popular person in the room.

Probably the most popular trick for beginning magicians to learn is the sleight of hand trick. This is where you misdirect people's attention, and while they are looking at your right hand, you do something with your left. Pulling coins out of ears, and cards out of sleeves are some popular ones.

Tricks that only rely on simple mathematical principles are also pretty good. Sometimes called self working tricks, these are based on the order of the cards in a deck. Sometimes you'll need to pre-stack, or pre-arrange the deck to get these to work. These are good for kids, but they usually figure them pretty quickly.

A really impressive trick is when you can convince people that you are psychic. You can accurately guess peoples birthdays, guess what card they are thinking of, and even win at the game of rock-paper-scissors. This is really impressive because you don't even need a deck of cards, and works really well in bars or at parties where people have had a drink or two.

The biggest kind of trick, the ones you see people doing on TV, require all kinds of props, and assistants, and lots and lots of preparation. Sawing people in half, escaping out of an underwater are a couple of these tricks. Of course, most amateur magicians don't have the time for these, so we just usually leave them to the professionals.

Just by learning a couple magic tricks, you can really realize how popular you'll naturally become at parties and social gatherings. You'll never be at a loss for an invitation out on the weekend again. - 31879

Care For A Little Voodoo?

By Kylie Johnson

The popular notion about voodoo can be quite scary; evil spells and cantankerous shamans who can turn you into a zombie; dead animals and wild bonfire dances to the beating of an ominous sounding barrage of percussions.

It is so far from what voodoo really is that practitioners will either just find humor in the misconception, or feel insulted by it.

Although many of them have tried to dispel the ridiculous portrayal of the religion created by popular media, there are still persistent and incorrect beliefs about voodoo.

These kinds of spells, that actually pertain to voodoo, are depicted by making use of pin dolls, zombies that are considered to be evil, sacrificing animals and people dancing all over their territory to the beat of the drums.

People like Wade Davis thinks that voodoo is definitely more than just merely ideas that were collectively thought to be religious, but instead, voodoo may be considered as an idea as to how children in different cultures should be brought up, going hand in hand with the teachings that the children get as well as the politics involved.

One may also describe voodoo as some kind of heritage, or even culture, in the form of dances or the arts, language, and it is beyond doubt that this is certainly not just all about rituals, as a lot of people may consider it to be.

During the 16th century, the Frenchmen conquered Haiti and restricted the following of any African religion. They imposed this rule since they found voodooism as a threat to their dominion. They even punished people who were followers of the religion. However, a revolution emerged which was believed to be guided by the beliefs of their faith.

The Voodoo that does exist in the western world has tinges of Christian elements that ensured its survival many, many years ago, especially when the French colonizers sought to eradicate African religion in Haiti. They had seen Voodoo as a threat to their control of the colony, which in fact it was and despite the severe punishments meted out, Haiti won its freedom and Voodoo played a big part in that victory. It took a while for the Catholic Church to make it's peace with the voodoo sect, but did so in the'50s.

It is an old religion, but the acceptance of voodoo into the mainstream was a long hard fight. These days, though many still lack the proper knowledge on the religion, they have come to accept it as legitimate. You will even see some advertising on the internet for free voodoo spells, for love, luck or health.

A true and genuine voodoo practitioner will explain to you the principles behind the spells so that you will know what to expect, and so that you will have a better understanding of how it works.

Voodoo magic can help you with almost any aspect of your life, although it may not be in the way that you imagine it would. So while you may not want to have a voodoo spell cast for you yet, it really would not hurt to learn more about the fascinating way of life that the voodoo world can show you. - 31879

1. Have Fun

Approaching women doesn't need to be contrived or super serious. I understand you need to show dominance and all, however believe me, girls have their own ideas. As soon as you approach a hot girl with a determined, grim look on your face, she will turn on the witch switch and bust your routine on the spot. You see, women expect men to come up to them with something thats supposed to make them feel giddy with excitement, however most of the time, the whole approach lacks individuality and another critical element. FUN.

If girls enjoy your company, they feel safe around you. In fact, they will drop their guards completely, which spells green light in huge, bold letters. Laughing with women, exchanging jokes and letting them poke fun at you will get you far as far as your seduction game is concerned.

2. Be Fascinating

Women like variation, and anything that makes them go "wow, how did you do that" in real amazement will make them feel attracted. It's the lure of mystery and the unknown that makes women want to get to know you better. Moreover, the fact that so many women around are enchanted by you will get their competitive juices flowing. That means more hot women will want your number than you can handle.

Booking A Party Magician Could Be The Best Choice You Ever Made

By Andrew Edmonds

Whether you are organising a birthday, an anniversary, or maybe a barmitzvah, a party magician can step in to provide a memorable experience for your guests which will keep them talking about your party for months to come.

The size of your audience makes no different when hiring a party magician because he is able to adapt different types of routines to fit.

What type of entertainment does a magician provide?

A close up party magician provides magic to small groups of people who will get their own intimate magic show. The magician will move from group to group spending no more than ten minutes with each group. Depending on the number of guests the magician may be asked to spend between one and three hours performing. If the event involves a formal sit down meal then the magician can provide table magic, performing to each table at a time.

Some party magicians also provide a cabaret show which can work very well when combined with close up magic. A cabaret show requires a small stage area and can be performed from as little as thirty people up to a few thousand. Most cabaret shows last no longer than an hour.

Sometimes, especially for intimate dinner parties where numbers rarely exceed twenty, the audience is simply too small for a closeup magician to perform for more than half an hour and too small for a cabaret show. This is where a party magician may offer a parlour show, performing to everyone for about forty five minutes in their own living room. It is more intimate than a cabaret as usually everyone will be involved in way way or another.

Pros And Cons For Booking A Wedding Magician

By Andrew Edmonds

In this article I will discuss why hiring a wedding entertainment for your wedding will give your big day that extra special X factor

Now, being a full time professional magician obviously makes me a little biased when discussing why a magician is a good idea since I've experienced first hand what a difference it can make; however, I will still give what I feel are a few negatives in hiring a magician later in this article.

Let's start by remembering the fact that throughout your wedding day you will be the centre of attention, and so naturally your mind will not always be on the general welfare of your guests, especially during the photos where you will likely be occupied for a couple of hours. This is where a magician can step in to add that extra dimension to your guests wedding experience and give you peace of mind knowing that they are in good hands.

A good magician can be very versatile and slot in during any part of your day.

The following are popular times when a magician can wow your guests.

Photographs

The formal photographs can take up to a couple of hours with most of your guests left to idly chat amongst themselves. There is no better time than a magician to step in and provide an unforgettable experience,; a great ice breaker.

During the wedding breakfast

The wedding breakfast is another popular time for entertainment. A professional magician will not interrupt whilst people eat but will entertain a table at a time between courses. It is always a lovely moment for the wedding couple to hear loud spontaneous cheers from different tables.

Evening reception

A magician can also entertain during the evening reception when all your evening guests have arrived and the party is in full swing. With formalities out the way this is usually a very relaxed part for all and having a magician entertain can provide a very memorable experience for all. A magician can mingle with guests and even perform a small show which will always include the wedding couple.

Now it would be wrong for me to JUST discuss all the positives involved in hiring a magician and not look at some negatives, albeit very few that I can think of.

Firstly, the cost. Hiring a decent professional close up is not cheap and would usually set you back in the region of five hundred pounds for a couple of hours. If you have the budget, then do it.

You also have to consider that booking a good, no great, magician, with a lot of experience and great testimonials AND the right personality will likely take you time to find. I cannot stress how important it is to find the right magician for your big day. Yes, it will take some research on the internet, a few phonecals and maybe even seeing a few in action at some wedding fayres, but it will be worth it to take away the stress on the day knowing your guests are being entertained as you wish them to be.

So, in conclusion, if you have the money and time to find a magician that you know will meet the expectations you have then book one. For years to come your guests will likely talk about "that magician" which will bring a smile to your face. - 31879

Making Simple Love Spells Work Their Magic

By Jo Archibald

One of the most interesting and amazing things that exist in our world is magic. It is truly fascinating that there are already some people that show interest on it, especially on matters related to love. Magic is something that influences some events through supernatural or mystical forces.

Magic may be perceived as a particular kind of practice wherein it is able to incorporate ceremonies as well as different kinds of practices being done during the ancient times. It is also believed that using the so-called divine energy of a person may be a means in order to make magic work, as this energy is considered to be very powerful.

When a certain practitioner wants to deal something relating to the love life of another person, then this practitioner would need to make use of a love spell that may be seen as a simple one, but in a different kind of perspective, may be seen as effective.

Love spells help to boost the love that a person feels for another being. However, it is very important that you use such spells with an intention to do good, and not evil. You should not use it to bring harm; instead, it should be used with the purest of intentions to make it work.

Now the question is, how does a love spell really work? The answer, in all honesty, is that it will depend entirely on the practitioner. You need to set your focus on your beliefs and intentions, to make it work the way you want it to.

If you are actually thinking about the effectiveness of the spell, then the answer would be based upon you. One should always bear in mind that the consequences or possible outcome that one may get out of the love spell made, is dependent on what the actual intention was, and the belief of the person who made the love spell possible.

This basically means that you need to have faith in what you do. If you don't, it will not work. Therefore, you would need to understand the origin and tradition of love spells because if you do not know these, it will weaken your ability to perform magic.

The true and most effective realization of love spell depends on the intention and intuition of the one using it. These two concepts, together with the right understanding of magic, will surely make each spells come to reality.

These factors should not be taken for granted or anything to that extent as these factors are definitely essentials in order to make everything work the way that you want it to work. In this regard, you should also think about your own belief, what is going to be done, and its impact. That is why, it would always be best that one gets to comprehend the real essence of the tradition since this may only make the spell ineffective.

The spell may possibly become ineffective if for instance the belief of the person has already weakened, and if for instance the person is not truly familiar with the process. - 31879
