becoming a card magician

Once in a while i get asked by my friend magicians what does it need to be a good card magician. Well for me there should be a balance of nice presentation and technical skills.

On presentation part you should have a nice patter so that they can understand what you are doing. When i say patter it is not just limited to verbal but also in how you move, body gesture.

On technical skills you should learn at least one or more sleights in each category that i will mention: card controls, false cuts, false shuffles, different kinds of false counts, force, peeks and some palming methods. When i say you should learn at least one or more that means that you can do the sleights profficiently.

In my opinion thats the things you must get to be a good card magician. OT this is my first time blogging using a mobile phone, hope this works fine :)
