Magic Tricks Revealed – Page 3

Learning magic is becoming easier and easier. There are more and more videos uploaded to YouTube that are revealing secrets to even the most "classified" magic tricks – even those that are performed on TV by TOP magicians in the world. Of course, this is against the magic etiquette – you've probably heard that "Magician Never Reveals His Secret." But think about it – you can start with free resources that can be found across the web and on YouTube channels and then, when free resources are not enough for you, move to paid courses that are in most cases better structured than free resources. In fact, this was exactly my own journey; I started with free resources and then switched to paid resources. In my overview, I will list the best websites where you can learn magic – this will include both free and paid resources and you can decide what's best for you! Here is a list of 10 Best websites for learning magic tricks: NoWordsMagic.com CardTricksRevealed.com FreeMagicTricks4U.com MasterMentalism.com TheCardTrickTeacher.com eBooks.com InsideDeception.com Theory11.com Ellusionist.com Penguinmagic.com 1. NoWordsMagic The website NoWordsMagic.com is linked to a YouTube channel Nadjib Haffaf. Nadjib is an incredibly talented and versatile magician from Alegria and I think this is one of the best (and also one of the most underestimated) YouTube channels out there. The beauty of this channel is that over 90% of the tricks are performed and explained without saying any words! Explanations are always very easy to follow understand and this channel honestly deserves more attention and views. What tricks you can learn there? As said above, Nadjib is incredibly versatile and he is teaching all sorts of magic tricks – card tricks, coin tricks, rope magic tricks, ring magic tricks, stage illusions, levitation tricks, magic tricks with silk, paper, water, flowers.... you name it! It's great that there is also a simple website that can possibly help you with navigation through all categories, or you can simply use one of the playlists that are prepared for you on his YouTube channel. I'm so excited about this YouTube channel and website – all tricks are FREE, visit this website, or YouTube channel today and you'll be excited too! Content Example 2. Cardtricksrevealed In this case, it's pretty clear what this website is about, right? Card tricks are for sure the easiest way how to start with magic if you're a beginner – in most cases, the only thing you really need is a deck of playing cards that you can easily find in almost any store and a bit of time and patience for practice. Even if you're completely new to magic and not familiar with any card sleights, you will still be able to perform amazing card miracles thanks to self-working tricks that work on mathematical principles and other easy card tricks that require no sleight of hands. What tricks you can learn here? Cardtricksrevealed.com is a website that is laser targetted to card magic tricks of all kinds – easy tricks, intermediate tricks, advanced tricks, prediction tricks, mentalism tricks, and much more! The website is divided into several sections that will help you to navigate through all card tricks. The tricks in the main categories are made/filmed by the same author but you should definitely not overlook videos from other authors that you can find in the menu – that means tricks from leading YouTube channels like 52Kards, Disturb Reality, Hester23Bearsch, or AMillionCardTricks. There are more than 2.000 amazing card tricks that you can learn and the content is completely FREE so make sure to check this website today! Content Example 3. FreeMagicTricks4U Freemagictricks4u is an interesting website that combines free resources, a secret membership area with exclusive content, a simple magic store with magic tricks, and props and it is also a place where you can purchase eBooks written website creator Simon Crack (more details about eBooks below). What tricks you can learn here? Let's break down each section of this website: Free Magic Tricks In the free magic tricks section, you'll find coin tricks, card tricks, street magic tricks, mentalism tricks, or several short ebooks. Most tricks are pretty easy to do, accompanied by short video or step by step photo tutorial. There are also 6 free eBooks to choose from – all very short and easy to follow, but some books require a password for accessing them (you'll receive a password after free registration). In general, the Free magic section is not bad, however, some of the videos are pretty old so its quality is not the best and there is not a lot of free tricks you can choose from. I personally find the Membership area to be much more interesting. Secret Membership Area The Membership area is much more interesting – you can register here, and start exploring all exclusive tricks that you'll find inside. Immediately after the free registration, you'll receive: 3 eBook Magic Tricks for instant download 16 Magic Videos Access to a private Facebook group for members Access to Upgrade bonuses and other effects ... and much more ACCESS MEMBERSHIP AREA If you'll like the content of the Membership Area, and if you will decide that you want more content, you can always decide to upgrade to a Premium account to receive more tricks and exclusive bonuses.

TheCardTrickTeacher The website thecardtrickteacher.com is fully dedicated to card magic tricks. The site is related to the legendary MisMag822 YouTube channel who was one of the first teachers of card magic tricks on YouTube. That being said means that some of the videos are very old so its quality is not on the level that we would expect today. Also, the site looks outdated and it would deserve a major design refresh.

The content of the website is completely free so make sure that you check it out today! 6. eBooks.com eBooks.com is one of the biggest sellers of eBooks in the world. This could be a surprising choice when it comes to listing websites where you can learn magic tricks but truth is that a lot of great magic tricks were created and described in books that are even a few decades old! Many old magic tricks books are out of print so there is often no other choice than buy them as eBook!

Learning magic is, however, the same as learning anything else – it requires patience and training. Start with easy tricks show them to your friends and family – I'll see how great feeling it is to entertain people, make them laugh, and happy.
