First Read This - Three Golden Rules

Three Golden Rules
1. Never give away the secret
Otherwise, the power of the effect is gone, and not only will the spectator feel cheated that they were fooled into thinking you could perform a miracle, but they will hate you for it. Any leverage you believed you would have gained by revealing the secret will last a mere few seconds, and will be instantly forgotten about as soon as they know how it’s done. If you had kept the secret,they will forever be astonished by the effect.

  2. Never perform the same trick twice
 The first time a spectator sees an effect, they are watching to see what will happen, to be amazed and entertained. The second time, they are trying to work out how it has been done. When their focus has changed, they may see the secret. This will not only destroy the trick for them, but they are usually cruel enough to spoil it for others as well, and reveal the secret to everyone they see. Ruining your act, and destroying the trick for anyone at the event who has yet to see the effect. Avoid doing a trick more than once; they havealready seen the effect, how will performing it a second time be any different? There isn’t any reason to do this, and it can only be disastrous for the performer.
  3. Practice, Practice, Practice!
 Wait until you have perfected the effect before performing it. To perform a trick un-prepared will most likely reveal the secret and make you look like an idiot. Only when you are confident that you can perform the trick effectively should you try it on real spectators. Try performing in front of a mirror, and then to family members. Don’t show your friends until it’s a little more polished.
 Ask for feedback on what trick was most effective, and what was not.
Discover which tricks they liked the most, and which tricks they did not understand. Everybody performs differently, and so some of these tricks may not suit your particular style. Therefore, the audience may not understand the effect you are trying to achieve, not because the effect didn't work, but because your style of performance did not allow them to imagine that you were capable of performing such a feat.

 Pick the tricks that suit your character the most. If possible, adapt them to fit a unique way of performing, which applies only to you.
