“Practice makes perfect” – is a saying that most people are sure
would agree.
In magic, too, we develop through practice – moves are perfected and routines are consolidated. This gives us more confidence and mastery in our magic. But how do you practice properly? And, above all, how do you practice
How effective can you be? Clemens Ilgner explores this question in his book "Practicing Magic." The trained classical musician and magician has adapted practice methods from music and sports for magic and shows readers many different approaches for systematically improving tricks and routines.
These methods are explained on 128 pages using individual moves and small routines. Video sequences, to which readers have exclusive online access, complement the book. Furthermore, over 70 color photos and illustrations illustrate the content.
