How to Improve as a Children's Magician in 2 Steps

Two simple steps:

1. Read stories.

2. Tell stories to kids.

Bonus step #3 to truly excel: create your own story (and then, tell it!)

Why Storytelling Helps a Children's Magician

You'll understand kids better—their interests, reactions, and individual differences.

You'll get more comfortable with public speaking, improve your articulation, and learn to control your intonation to convey the desired emotion (suspense, curiosity, joy, fear...).

It can help focus the audience's attention at a particular moment and generate interest.

It elevates your performances to another level: you'll discover the best ways to pique curiosity, maintain intrigue, and build surprise (a story has its pauses, its peak moments, its pacing; a story is all about conveying emotions and feelings...).

It makes it easier to create a truly magical atmosphere.

How to Tell Stories

When telling a story, the key is to *live* it.

Feeling what you say is far more important than just memorizing it.

Choose a story that resonates with you, one that means something or holds special value.

I'm a big fan of Eloy Moreno's trilogy, "Cuentos para entender el mundo".
