Just What is it about Magic?!

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Magic - Does It Make A Difference?

Magic is always… well… Magic no matter who is performing it, isn’t it?

Every magician has the same objectives and those objectives are to entertain, mystify and trick you into believing what he or she wants you to believe. Whether it is just a quick sleight of hand or a full blown professional production, every magician loves to entertain and mystify their audience.

David Blaine is the same person now, when he is performing amazing tricks for millions, as he was when he started performing magic tricks on the streets of New York years ago. His objectives are the same now as then…to entertain, mystify and trick you into believing what he wants you to believe.

Magicians come in all shapes, sizes, ages, races and religions. Magic is universal. Music is the universal language… it is written and played the same all over the world and magic is the universal form of entertainment for both the young and old alike.

For close-up magicians at your event visit the UK Entertainer Directory. The site also includes a number of magicians who perform for children.

There is no need to speak the same language or be the same age, shape, size or religion as the magician who is entertaining you; it’s all about the trick itself and the showmanship of the magician that make magic a universal form of entertainment.

A great trick or illusion is great all over the world again and again, and again.

There are two universal skills that becoming proficient at performing magic tricks requires in every language and by want-to-be magicians of every shape, size and age all over the world, as well.

One requirement (first and foremost) is practice.

Practice, practice, practice! Your trick has to become a natural part of your conversation and your movements. A flawed execution of a trick pulls the curtain back on the magician and the entertainment value plummets.

The other is passion for the art of magic.

Neither can be bought, begged, stolen or sold. It burns within like a flame that cant be extinguished and it is this passion that fuels the desire to practice and hone the skills.

Those who have a burning desire to perform magic tricks are all entertainers at heart… whether they are your 10-year-old nephew who just got his first magic kit or the David Blaine’s and David Copperfields of the world.

So pay attention when that 10-year-old nephew asks you to pick a card… pick any card, you might be seeing greatness in the making.

UK Wedding Websites

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

www.guidesforbrides.co.uk

In addition to the usual supplier directory, this site includes a wedding planner where you can create your own web page to display information about your wedding.

Another useful feature is the wedding fair diary where you can search by region for wedding fairs across the UK.

www.confetti.co.uk

Confetti is one of the biggest UK wedding websites and includes information on just about every aspect of organising a wedding. Like most wedding websites it has a massive supplier directory covering every UK region which includes wedding venues, photographers, jewellers and bridal wear.

The most useful parts of the website are it’s extensive wedding advice section and the section for men, which is quite an unusual feature as most wedding sites concentrate on the bride.

The only problem with Confetti is it’s size - it can be difficult to know where you are in the site and find the information you want. To get past this use the search box which is at the top of every page and is very effective.

www.hitched.co.uk

Hitched.co.uk is another wedding website with an extensive range of information. This includes useful sections on choosing a wedding photographer and a wedding videographer.

A great feature of this site is the speeches section which has a lot of useful information on writing best man, bride, father of the bride and maid of honour speeches.

Check out our wedding resources page for more useful wedding websites.
