You may be tempted to say it&#8217;s a difference of skill level, but that&#8217;s not always the case. Amateur comes from the French for &#8220;lover of.&#8221; It&#8217;s meant to denote someone who is passionate about their art, regardless of where their paycheck comes from. But to a professional magician, the stakes are a little higher. If they&#8217;re going to perform something, they need to make sure it&#8217;s dazzling enough to ensure that they can make rent that month. And for amateurs, knowing that the trick they&#8217;re performing has been tested in gig after gig means that it will surely amaze their friends and family. That&#8217;s why, for amateurs and pros alike, we cannot recommend anything higher than <i><b>The Commercial Magic of J.C. Wagner<\/b><\/i> by Mike Maxwell. <\/p>\n<p>After being out of print for over a decade, Murphy&#8217;s Magic is proud to bring this timeless collection of magic to a brand new generation of magicians. <\/p>\n<p>Across a sprawling 122 pages, you&#8217;ll learn 37 of J.C. Wagner&#8217;s road-tested, audience-wowing effects. These are broken down into six categories: Commerical Stunners, Four Ace Routines, Coin Magic, J.C on Estimation, Packet Magic, and Card Magic. If there&#8217;s a style of magic you like performing, J.C. Wagner probably perfected it in his lifetime. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a sample of the effects that you&#8217;ll learn:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Entertainment Tacks<\/b>: A spectator signs a card that&#8217;s lost in the deck. You wrap the deck in rubber bands and a borrowed bill. The whole deck is thrown at the ceiling. 51 cards fall down, but their signed card and the banknote are stuck to the ceiling!<\/li>\n<li><b>Super Closer<\/b>: Magically find the four aces in a shuffled deck. Then the four kings. Finally, you reveal that the deck has separated itself into four piles, each exclusively containing one suit.<\/li>\n<li><b>Card Under The Drink<\/b>: A card is selected and lost in the deck. You spread the cards across the table, revealing that a single card has been turned face up. It&#8217;s not your spectator&#8217;s card, though. Instead, you inform them that you couldn&#8217;t find it in the deck because it&#8217;s beneath their drink! Do yourself a favor at watch J.C.&#8217;s performance of this on YouTube. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to make your money with magic to be a magician, but if you read this book, it&#8217;s a much more attainable career goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s the difference between a professional and amateur magician?
