Math Magic Tricks

Math is not the number one love in most of our lives, but it certainly has its place in life and a lot of us would be dead in the water if we didn't have our calculators handy. But when it comes to math magic tricks, the whole premise is different...no calculator is going to save your neck here.

This is why lots of people stay away from trying to learn math magic tricks and a lot of newbie magicians will wait a while before they add math magic tricks to their repertoire.

But like everything else about magic, there are all degrees of difficulty in tricks...and there a quite a few very simple math magic tricks that won't cause you to lose any sleep over them. The only requirement to learn them quickly is to practice just like you would do for all the other magic tricks you have up your sleeve.

Get your frame of mind straightened out first thing because if you even approach these simple math magic tricks with a negative attitude, your performance will mirror that and you won't be a hit with the audience. Performance is key when it comes to the audience and there is no room for negativity or ill will...you must have a positive outlook to do a good job.

Once you have your head on straight, you can go ahead and start searching for a few easy math magic tricks that you can use. Make sure you pick the easier ones first, which makes the most sense, and then work up to the more difficult ones.

Now it's time to practice and start using your math magic tricks. With regard to the types of tricks you are using, you might want to enlist the aid of an assistant to help you get the tricks working correctly. You may even find it necessary to have the assistant sit in the audience and in this manner, you stay in control of the math magic tricks and direct them the way you want them to work out.

That's not an unknown fact by any means in the world of magic. All the very talented and accomplished magicians use this ploy in their performances and find that it is necessary if a good performance is to happen.

 

For some math magic tricks, quite often this would fall into the category of giving you much needed correct answers or adding probing questions that would help you in starting the trick and moving it along.

Now that you have mastered all of the above steps, you are ready to present to your audience a great repertoire of math magic tricks as a regular part of your magic act, and a fun part too.
