Magic Show Tips - Sourcing The Right Magician Supplies

Ask anyone what a magician wears and they're sure to include a collapsible top hat and a magic wand. These standard item can be picked up inexpensively at any magic store. They can also be found in the costumes department of many toy stores. A breakaway wand is a little more sophisticated. The magician selects an assistant and then waves and taps his magic wand. However, when he gives the wand to his assistant, the wand falls apart. This is a very basic item for any magic show.

The magical world of the illusionist will definitely include a variety of silks among his magician supplies. Silks have many magical applications. These colorful squares can be an accessory to a magical effect or they can be used as the illusion themselves. Silks come in a variety of colors and sizes so you have a big selection to choose from. You may also choose to use a mouth coil with the silks for a magic trick most people are familiar with. The magician faces the audience and they will notice something odd protruding from his lips. When he pulls on it, a bright swath of fabric will appear. As he continues to tug, yards of silk will be pulled from his mouth. Canes are also an accessory to silks. An 'appearing cane' is a tool that displays silk that magically turns into a solid cane. The trick works in reverse with the 'vanishing cane', which is a cane that turns into two colorful silks.

The invisible thread reel is one of the most ingenious inventions in the last decade. Using this undetectable device, a magician can astound audiences by making any object appear as if it is floating through the air. Close-up pads are a must for the serious magician. These accessories act as a "stage" for close-up magic. Close-up pads make card tricks, coin tricks and cups and ball routines easier to perform. Finally, magic wax is a staple for anyone in the magic card game. Magicians' wax allows you to do a myriad of card tricks without anyone discovering your secrets.

Every magician has a special trick up his sleeve but the right magician supplies will help your performance. However, make sure that you are thoroughly familiar with a prop before you use it in your show. Once you're ready, these speciality items will help you dazzle audiences.
