Dear Students. Just to remind you certain things on presenting magic. 1. Never present any magical act unless you have practiced, practiced, practiced your act. Thus, when you learn an act in our classroom session, practice the act for 22 times. Best to do it in front of a mirror. Then present it to your Mom and Dad, then to your elder brother and sister. Do not get discouraged. Always present if you have time, but you have to ask permission first, as you enter, "Do you want to see magic?" 2. Here is the list of what I have taught you: a. The empty mineral water bottle and the cap. b. On cards, know the bottom card by simply peeking the value of the bottom card, then have your audience pick a card. With the method by using your thumb to pull out the bottom card which you already know, then you can say what selected value card. c. Card palming, practice palming a one peso or five peso coin for one hour. Make it natural. Look at the mirror if you are palming naturally. d. Back palming: Clip the coin in between your index and middle finger. Then make a grabbing action to make the coin appear. e. Practice the alluminum can (with a P.25 centavo coin already inside. Hard to explain here best to see me on how to do it and I will demonstrate). Your assignment: 1. At home, you should practice the four routines that I taught you. Then you will be asked to perform only one magic routine in our next meeting. 2. Bring your magic bag with its contents. Also bring a one-peso coin. Also bring an empty styro coffee cup, the white one. Good luck to all and make your day magical! For feedback from Mom and Dad and you: Please email: leonidas.jose@yahoo.com with subject Alohomora.
