How to Design a Three-Trick Set by Michael Close

Description

Attention magicians of all skill levels: It’s time to get your act together!

After being in magic for a few years, most enthusiasts acquire some repertoire – effects they can perform competently. While we spend a great deal of effort learning new tricks, we rarely take the time to organize our tricks into an effective act or “set.” Designing a three-trick set provides many benefits, including some you probably hadn’t thought of.
