If you find yourself in Chicago and need something to do, check out Aaron at Trickery Magic! As 1 part of a 3 way solo act (it will make sense once you watch him) he does a fantastic job engaging the audience and providing mystifying tricks!

I was invited to share some magic to reward some students at Brownstown Elementary School - Illinois and had a great time!!! I can’t thank the school and Coach Sefton enough for inviting me to be a part of the fun. Also, I’d like to thank Mr Tkachuk for being such a great sport! Looking forward to doing more for the Brownstown Schools in the future!

Learning a new trick follows one of these sets of steps….

1. See trick performed and fall in love.
2. Buy trick and learn how to perform.
If the trick is NOT what I thought, I’ve wasted time and money. Move to step 3.
If it IS what I thought, spend days and nights thinking about it and being distracted by it until I’ve perfected it and have shown it to others. Move to step 3.
3. Put trick away and hardly ever use it again.
4. Repeat steps until I die.

OR

1. Look up new tricks that would go along with and hopefully add to an upcoming show.
2. Buy trick and learn how to perform.
If the trick is NOT what I thought, I’ve wasted time and money.move to step 3.
If it IS what I thought, spend days and nights thinking about it. Spend hours and hours perfecting it and being distracted by it until I’ve perfected it. Show it to others a handful of times then move to step 3.
3. Put trick away and hardly ever use it again.
4. Repeat steps until I die.

Now we know the basic steps for being a magician!😂😂😂😂
