Introduction

The most difficult thing in magic is to be a good one. In order to be a good magician, is necessary to know a lot of things. There exist a lot of magicians in the world some of them present their tricks in youtube or in other social networks. The point is that some of them are really good and other magicians are really bad, but the worst thing is that some of them pretend to be good but in reality they are really bad, that’s why is good to know how to be a good magician

 First, the first step to be a good magician, this step is to know all the types of magic that exist: Mentalism, card magic, stage magic, magic with animals, children's magic, and so on. This is important because the magician can specialize in one type and focuses in that. I'm talking about the 3 types of magic best known and those that are practiced more, these are: card magic, card magic/cardistry (also known as card flourish), mentalism and close-up magic/street magic.

Second, I focus in card magic that is the type of magic that I like, the most practiced and performed and the one that I perform. I explain that the most important thing for being a good magician or a good card magician is to learn the card magic sleights. I explain that the most important and basic to be a good magician are: the double lift, the break   and the cardcontrol-cardforce. I explain each sleigth, what are them and how to perform these secret and “magical” moves.

Finally, I talk that for being a good magician, magicians also need some advice some professional magicians advice or from magicians more experienced to help you learn and see from where because magic is something huge and if you are an amateur, you can get confused. What I did here was to interview three professional magicians here in Ecuador, 2 of them have over 5 years of experience and the other has more than 10 years of experience, then, I compare their answers and I reach to a conclusion
