Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn some basic magic tricks. Watch other magicians perform. Read magic books and biographies of magicians. Stream magic videos online. Get in touch with other magicians via an online forum.

Answer: There are tricks out there for all levels of magicians. Simple sleight of hand tricks and card tricks are a great place for younger magicians to begin! If you're enjoying the tricks from the linked article, learn more fundamentals like the back palm vanish, card rise, or coin knuckle roll. Some of these tricks may require some preparation before performing for an audience. For others, you may want to ask a friend to assist you with the trick. While all magicians know sleight of hand, not all of them specialize in these close-up tricks. You can also look into niche fields of magic, including: Club magic: working in front of medium audiences in a local magic club. Stage magic: working in front of large audiences in a large auditorium or performance venue. Escape tricks: escaping from handcuffs, strait jackets, or heavy chains in front of an audience. Mentalism: talking with audience members and performing tricks of clairvoyance or telepathy. Masters of the art know what an audience wants to see, so pay attention to what types of tricks and what styles modern magicians use. See which magicians appeal to you the most, and try to think about what about their style and approach to the audience appeals to you. You can watch contemporary magicians or even watch videos of some famous magicians to see how they master their art. Here are some magicians you may want to observe carefully: David Copperfield Tommy Wonder Lisa Menna Sue-Anne Webster Doug Henning Penn & Teller Harry Houdini S.H. Sharpe Criss Angel Lance Burton David Blane Shin Lim Most magicians started off by going to the library and checking out books about magic and reading them from cover to cover. This can help you have an understanding of the discipline that is truly required to be a magician. Reading and researching will also help you develop skills in private, rather than making mistakes in front of an audience Check out books like: The Tarbell Course in Magic Volumes 1-8, by Harlan Tarbell and Ralph Reed Books of Wonder, by Tommy Wonder Strong Magic, by Darwin Ortiz Drawing Room Conjuring, by Professor Hoffman The Fitzkee Trilogy, by Dariel Fitzkee Mark Wilson Complete Course in Magic, by Mark Wilson The Amateur Magician's Handbook, by Henry Hay Though you should still use books to learn about being a magician, online streaming videos or video downloads can also help you hone your craft. There are thousands of them out there and you have to make sure that you're watching a video from a reputable magician and that you're not paying for a cheap video with tricks that are too easy. If the videos are made by a knowledgeable, reputable magician, they will feature a variety of tricks which the magician effectively explains. Avoid videos that offer poor explanation, that only present information on very simple tricks, or are made by a clearly incompetent magician. Online communities of amateur and professional magicians can provide useful, practical information to budding magicians. Helpful forums for curious individuals interested in becoming a magician include the Theory11 forum (https://www.theory11.com/forums/cat/magic-forum/), The Magician's Forum (https://www.themagiciansforum.com/), and The Magic Cafe (https://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/index.php). Once you find a forum you'd like to participate in, introduce yourself and say something like: "I'm interested in learning how to perform magic tricks for my family and friends. What beginner tricks would you recommend, and what sort of equipment would I need for these." "Hi! I'm starting to learn about performing magic; what's a great place near [your city] to see magic acts?"

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Assess your abilities as an artist. Think about how freelancing will fit into your lifestyle. Examine if freelancing meets your financial needs. Check your current equipment.

Answer: Before you begin planning to work as a freelance artist, you first need to honestly assess your abilities. Taking an objective view of your skills can help you decide if freelancing is the right option for you. An excellent way to assess your skills is to compare your work to other artists who use similar mediums in your area. Is your work comparable or better? You can't expect to be successful if you can't compete. Do you frequently have people asking or complimenting you about your work? If so, this might be a good sign that your skills are in demand, especially because word of mouth can be a powerful advertising tool. Would you be willing to spend money on your creations? If you don't offer something peopleor youmight want, you're likely to not be a successful freelance artist. Consider how having a freelance business will fit into your lifestyle and even that of your family. Knowing whether or not the time, emotional, and physical demands fit in with your lifestyle is important if you want to run a successful business. Are you able to handle the physical demands? Depending on what type of artist you are, you may need to stand or sit hunched over a canvas for long hours. Think about if being a freelance artist fits your personality. Client management is a significant part of the job and if you don't like working with people, this may not be the right choice for you. You will need to allot specific times to work and find a space to work and meet with clients. Are you willing to structure your time and possibly rent an office? You will not have benefits or paid sick time as a freelancer. You may also want to consider your location. If you are in an isolated region, it may be difficult to capture potential clients or for them to reach you. Freelance artists earn on average about $44,000 per year. This amount can change depending on how often and where you work. Only proceed with your plans if the average pay or below meets your financial needs. The average salary for a freelance artist works out to $13.85 per hour, which is above the minimum wage. An excellent way to gauge prices is by checking the prices of comparable services in your local area. You want to stay competitive with your prices while making sure you're compensated fairly for your work. A mentor may be able to help you figure out fair prices for you and your clients. One aspect to consider when assessing your prices is how long each job and any post-production may take. If it takes you a longer time to produce a work of art, you'll want to adjust your prices based on your speed to help ensure you're getting paid an amount commensurate to your skills and work. Remember that you will have to pay taxes and other fees for your business. You'll need to have high-quality equipment that can withstand repeated use. You'll also need sufficient supplies to produce your art. If you need to invest significantly in freelancing, it may not be the right decision for you. Remember that quality equipment is the core of your business and will allow you to garner income. Many freelance artists often find themselves in feast or famine situations. You may have to fend for yourself as you develop your business. Freelancers have an unsteady income, especially early on, and you should plan on having long periods without income.
