Which
speaker can claim to have never been afraid to speak in public?
Which sportsman can
claim to never
feel a bit nervous before a competition?
Which
magician can claim to have never stage fright before a show?
I
have seen more than one time hands’
magician trembled during a show.
In
this article, I mean to reveal
the 3 main causes of the fright to fail and for each cause I suggest
you some
tips.
-
The
lack of knowledge is one of
the main causes.
Imagine getting the knowledge of the
best
sportsman or
the best engineers.
Humans are principally afraid about
what they don't know. So to get rid of your fears, get a
specific
knowledge on what you are afraid, and you will see your fear disappear.
You are afraid of the snakes or the
spiders, study the snake and the spiders and maybe you will start
affecting
these animals.
You are afraid about the
sea, study the captain Cousteau and his discoveries.
You are afraid to present simple
magic tricks to your audience, imagine if you could get the
knowledge of
David Copperfield, David Blaine, Arthuro Ascanio, Fred Kaps, Juan
Tamariz,
Carlos Vaquera and all the famous magicians in the world, do
you think you
will still be afraid to present a magic trick in front of a large
public
getting their knowledge? I guess no.
You
will know how to use the human
psychology for better impacts on your simple magic
tricks, you will
know how to coordinate your gesture, how to amaze creating the surprise.

The
lack of experience
If for example
you are afraid to speak in front of a large group of people, the best
solution
to get rid of that is to practise an activity that will force
you to do it
like practicing theater for example.
A magician
needs to be confident;
his moves need to be controlled at the perfection, that's why the best
magicians
repeat hundreds and hundreds of time the same motions.
How
can you be self confident if you
hesitate or tremble while performing the simplest magic tricks?
The
speaking also has to be clear;
it's also a required training to speak. Your
voice reflects your personality.
Performing the tricks with the good tone can make a big
difference. Practise before in front of your friends and family and
when
you are self confident enough, you can then present your magic
tricks at a
larger audience.
But
remember that it's by being
involved that you will increase your experience.

A
bad image of yourself
Use
the mental suggestion and your
imagination.
Repeat
inside yourself “I am
confident.”
Think
about how you are when you are
confident, how do you hold yourself, how do you move, how do you talk.
Imagine
you being confident in the situation you want. While you practise
visualization,
breathe deeply.
These
tips are valuable for every field. If it works
for the professional
athletes, why it wouldn’t
work for the magicians?
