You must have seen a lot of magicians on TV and on stage. These magicians surely learn their skills from somewhere. To learn how to perform magic and perform it effectively, do these magicians learn and later also use Black Magic?

First and foremost of all, there is a big difference between Slight of Hand (Stage Magic) and Black Magic.  The Stage Magic relies upon illusions created by cinematic tools and skills of speed, and thus, there is nothing magical about it; however, Stage Magic is always nice to observe.\n\nAs for Black Magic, that is IF one believes in such a study, is very complex and still debated by those so-called "true mages" as to what defines "Black Magic".  Of course, one is entitled to take the stereo-typing made by the movies: burning babies, blood of virgins and those humbugs what-not (I really doubt all these movie stuffs have anything to do with Black Magic at all, but oh well Big Hollywood).

You can take lessons to develop your voice in terms of range and projection.  But one also needs an "ear" for music to be able to hear when they are on key and in rhythm with the music, and I don't believe that can be taught.  And of course there's the issue of stage presence that is crucial for success in the performing arts.

I depends what you mean by real?  Yes, they really are tricks.  They trick your mind to think you are seeing something different than it really is.\n\nWhen you see something "disappear" it doesn't really disappear into thin air.  You are tricked to believe you saw it disappear, but really it was simply concealed by some "magic" trick.  They all use different ways to conceal the REAL action.\n\nWhen someone is suspended in mid air, there is a hidden, concealed way to do it.  All magic tricks work by natural, but hidden means.  The better the magican, the better hidden it is.

Good question. A lot of sites, books, people claim magic is real. It is in fact a very profitable industry. But is it trickery?\n\nUnfortunately, very few people people, even those who profess to be experts in the black arts and magic really understand the heritage of what they worship and promote.\n\nThe same goes for many people who post endless Bible quotes.\n\nNo, it is not trickery, just a mess of jumbled messages, ideas, people selling things and a handful of genuine spells, mystics and people. Who these people are? Very hard to find. Not usually people you'd find on the internet.\n\nhttp://one-heaven.org

Dealing in black magic is a dangerous thing.  Once you accept the possibility that someone can predict your destiny then you have lost your ability to self-determination and live at the mercy of somebody else morbid obsession with death and pain.

Well, I recommend starting with the Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft as a jumping off point.  It gives basics and the best chapter is the brief history.  There are many forms of magic (non stage type)  There is ritual magic and tantric magic and ceremonial magic and spontaneous magic.  There isn't a difinitive guide, but there are plenty of people willing to teach/guide assist, including myself.  As silly as it sounds there the Complete Idiots Guide to Witchcraft and Wicca, which is another good resource for beginning inquiries, don't laugh, I'm serious :)\n\nAnother person answered about learning about deception.  I call that listening to your inner ring of truth.  I feel that when you read or experience something or hear something that you can learn to listen to you're inner signals about the validity or "truth" of it.  Basically, if it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't.\n\nI feel I could go on and on for hours on this topic alone :)  You're local metaphysical shop is great place to look as well.  Us types (as yet undefined) tend to hang out there alot.

If you want to know the essence of why Spells, affirmations and incantaions of many sorts CAN work, and why for so many people they don't work, watch the DVD 'The Secret'. \n\nhttp://www.thesecret.tv

First off...Paganish, Wicca...they do not worship a devil.  They are a peaceful religion and a earth religion.  Everything is alive ans sacred.  Second.  The devil is a christan invention...they used that to convert thousands of pagans.\n\nHigh Magick is all ceremony and full of cr*p.  All you do is wave you freaking arm around and pretend it happened...\n\nYou know, after reading what you said...I would have thought you would know more...especially if you are practicing "High magick"....  But then again there are little kids out there thinking they know everything about everything and think that their form of "religion" is right even if they made it up and are fooling only themselves.\n\nBTW I practice Paganism...so don't think that you can fool me for one second.  You need to do research...or find a new website to base your beliefs on because the one you're using now is leading you on.

tarot cards are a real tool for those who know how to use them. there is ALOT involved in the study of tarot... but i am not certain it's something you can study and learn... i think it is more of an intuitive thing powered by unseen entities.

There're two kinds of activities people refer to as magic.\n\nOne is the kind put on by those who now prefer to be called illusionists, rather than magicians, like Houdini to David Copperfield, and who put on shows for public entertainment.\n\nThe other kind, are those performed by highly evolved individuals, who, because of their knowledge of, and mastery over nartural laws, can use these laws to perform what's popualrly called 'miracles'.\n\nThe former, as the preferred name implies (illusion) smacks of deceit; whereas the latter has nothing to do with deceit, but on the contrary, it's pure science.

LOL.  Wow, hon, you are on a roll!\n\nI am a Wiccan High Priestess which is a witch.  That's sort of the real thing, isn't it? \n\n1) true - it is, indeed, a religion (Wicca)\n2) you can practice witchcraft without practicing the religion --- to be more accurate you practice thaumaturgical magic which is natural rather than ritual/worship magic\n3) not evil (but I can be kinda ornery)and there are dark witches who can be very nasty\n4) the broom (we call them besoms) represents several things, not the least of which is astral travel.  They are used as a tool to sweep areas clean and are associated with the element of air.\n\nObviously, I do not have any problems with Witches.  I am a theurigical practitioner (not religious), a retired (legal in most of the USA) minister of Wicca (didn't continue because it would be inappropriate to continue since I am a secularist by faith).\n\nBy the way, the end probably isn't that close.  Of course, for a good time one must always live as if it were, right?

Alchemy is crude early Chemistry combined with spirtuallity.  And no it doesnt exsist, but some do practice it still.

I would try to help you, but I am so far out of the loop, that I don't know what a magic chair is in the way you must mean. In my day, we would draw a magic chair in art class, not in drama class. The truth is I was never very good in either one of those.

There aren't a whole lot of "tricks" that aren't muscle memory and coordination.  Just watch players when they're just messing around for ideas or inspiration.  You can "snap" at a ground ball and effectively rake it by flicking your wrist fast enough to turn it over.  You can choke up on the stick, toss the ball gently, and bat it back to yourself with the butt-end of the shaft of the stick.  You can work on a behind-the-back pass or shot.  \n\nNone of these are simple 1-2-3 "here's how you do it" tricks like magic tricks done with a pack of cards.  The reason they're used to show off is because they're difficult and take a bit of practice to get right.

Do a web search for online magic trick dealers.  I believe they may sell the materials needed.  Making the materials would be very difficult.
