There are various kinds of magic that one can perform from coin and card magic to mentalism. By far, the most popular magic trick both in the streets and on stage is the magic of levitation.
Of all the magic that is performed on a daily basis, this is the one performance that will always be a crowd pleaser. Having the ability to make a dollar bill, taken from someone in the audience, to command it to float in front of their very eyes without any strings attached and then to return it to them, will always blow them away.
The best aspect of levitation is that it feeds every persons fantasy of being able to fly – of course without a machine strapped around him. It’s this desire to believe that it is possible that makes the audience so delighted when you perform it. Be it card, a note or even yourself, be sure to create a stir with this magic trick.
As with most magical performances, there are different methods to achieve the same results. Some are better than others and you will often require trying out a few different methods before you find the one that works best for you. By far the most common levitation effect is called the Balducci Levitation. This is effective and pretty easy to achieve. If you are looking for more height of the ground then you may want to look at The King Rising. But for those who want to perform like the big names in levitation such as Criss Angel and David Blaine, then you want to find out about Icarus Levitation.
Icarus Levitation is an amazing visual levitation performance. It will take your magic skills to the next level and although it requires a fair amount of time to master this particular skill, it will definitely improve your overall performance

Street Magic Revealed True Talent
Over the last few years the whole world has fallen in love with magic. The shows are getting better and better and the performances are more and more amazing. Every year it seems that the bar is being raised by new and upcoming as well as veteran performers. But having a bigger than life persona or a brilliant show doesn’t have to be the only way to make it as a magician.
When we go to shows by the big names in magic, you know you can expect to see the most unbelievable illusions and you are going to be amazed, but it is good old fashioned street magic that has really caught the eye of the general public and its street magic that has got everyone talking.
In recent years, the biggest names to come out the magic realm happen to be street magicians. The reason being, that although the illusions on stage are always spectacular, especially when performed by the best in the industry, there is nothing more amazing than being up close and involved in the experience and street magic allows young and old, sceptics and believers alike to actually be right there within touching distance of the magic.
The great thing about street magic is that it is always full of surprises. Amazing feats of removing people’s teeth while a crowd of spectators surrounding the magician look on from every angle, makes the magic even more magical. And because of this freedom from the constraints of old magic rules, new and innovative tricks are being thought of every day and new and exciting magicians are born just as often. Every well known performer was once just an average guy trying to make his name in the industry. Now we have the internet to thank for launching some unknowns with talent into the limelight and while people are still entranced by street performances, magic will continue to amaze us and magicians will continue to astound us.
The whole magic industry is alive with young talent that are learning new tricks through revealed trick sites and discovering the magic through people like Criss Angel and David Blaine. At the end of the day, the most important thing is that the magic never dies, and with our world becoming more and more interactive, it’s no surprise that Street Magic is where the real excitement is.

Hecklers & Revealed Tricks
No matter how long you have been doing magic, there are always going to be people who just can’t enjoy the illusion. For all the many people you amaze with your skills, there will forever be a, well, lets call him or her a ‘yobbo’, for lack of a better name, who will want to shout out and reveal your trick just as your about to get to the high point.
So how do you deal with such a ‘yobbo’? Lets imagine that you are about to perform the floating bill routine. You’ve been chit chatting to your audience, explaining about the wonderous powers that surround us and how by harnessing these powers, you can make object move mysteriously. You’ve asked someone to lend you a dollar bill and you are ready to show your captivated audience exactly what you mean. You entice the dollar bill to start moving at your command. You have the audience eating out of your hands and with gasps of oh and ah, you know that you have their full attention.
It always happens that just when you think you have the whole rooms attention, that single ‘yobbo’ who refuses to enjoy life more, will move in and spoil the trick by exposing how it works. As with all ‘yobbos’, there is only one way to put them in their place, as the only reason that anyone will ever want to spoil your show is if they are in need of attention and want to be the most important person in the room. They are usually the confrontational type and are doing this to get a rise out of you.
The best reaction is…. Laugh out loud. Although it’s hard to not feel disappointed and upset, remember that you are an entertainer and a professional. There will always be people who want to see you fail, especially when your art is something they don’t understand or cannot do.
Make a joke about how some people don’t like to witness amazing feats of magic and don’t like others to enjoy it. That there resides in everyone a little devil who wants to disrupt and some can control their little devils better than others. At the end of the day, your show will be remembered for the grace of not getting upset and still enjoying the art of magic rather then the ridiculousness of being heckled.
If the ‘yobbo’ doesn’t want to leave you alone, walk away. There is no point in competing for the limelight with a limelight hog. Some individuals just can’t be second most popular in a crowd and your audience will appreciate your professionalism and passion for the art and will want to see you again without disruptive hecklers around.
