A magic trick is created to amuse and mesmerize an audience who
comes to the show knowing that all the tricks are not real and
have fun because they can't figure out how the magic was done.
You won't see a magician exposing magic mainly because telling
how a magic was done is to kill the thrill and fun in watching
them.
Magicians wanting to join a group of other magicians are
required to give an oath to that effect. Never tell anyone who
is not a magician the reason behind a trick and to never show a
trick to anyone when you haven't fully mastered it.
Once you gave your oath as a magician, it is expected that you
will live up to your promise. Once you tell somebody and the
organization found out about it, you may find yourself not
receiving new tricks or that no one is teaching you how another
trick is done.
Note though that you can tell it to somebody who is really
willing to learn on how to be a magician. In fact you can see
instruction videos and detailed instructions on sale in many
shops. This is to help budding magicians into starting their
careers or hobbies. Some of the tricks included in these
instruction videos are common tricks and very easy to learn.
Some magicians also tell their tricks to misdirect others and
help them appreciate a new trick that they have done. Old tricks
seem to bore adult audiences that they tend to 'bungle up' the
old tricks in preparation for their new tricks which proves more
astonishing.
Magic tricks, once shown how they are done, may be posed with
risk of becoming stale. Sometimes it is because you are
disappointed at how easy it actually is or maybe because you
found out that the trick requires a lot of props to accomplish.
This is the reason no magician in his right mind will tell an
audience how a trick is done. A magic told is a magic lost.
Secrecy is the key and the magic is in keeping those secrets
within you.
Magic is a living art, new illusions are propping up and new
ways are introduced. Yes, you will see magicians telling their
tricks but true magicians will always find their way around it.
They will devise new illusions from old illusions and they will
get more creative in how they show those illusions.
