If you like magic, come in and have a look.

If you are really interested in the art of magic, I will tell you that techniques and props are neither important nor unimportant.

Perhaps many people think that technique is far more important than props. To be honest, for someone who holds this view, I guess he is not a true magic enthusiast.

The charm of magic lies in the performance, and the performance is for your audience to see and make them feel happy (yes! Pleasurable, not surprised or something). If you use magic to torture people, no matter how good you are, you will not be able to do it. Not a good magician.) This is doomed, and only the performance effect can be the ultimate criterion for evaluating magic.

Whether it is techniques or props, they are just the "little secrets" in magic performances. Whichever one can make your magic more glorious is the one you choose.

To give a simple example, there are many ways to do the magic of disappearing cigarettes, but without exception, these methods have shortcomings of one kind or another. But since the advent of gadgets like smoke escapers, many people can perform these magic tricks perfectly. However, a magician I know uses tricks to achieve this effect. At that time, I couldn't tell whether he was using techniques or props. If you have reached this point, what is the difference between techniques and props?

On the other hand, a magic trick can be solved perfectly with props, but you insist on using tricks, and the result is unsatisfactory. I think you must be very clear about how to calculate this.

In the end, both techniques and props are wonderful inventions of magicians. No one is more important. No matter which one is missing, the charm of magic will be much less. But when it comes to the actual performance, it depends on the performance effect.

As you said, the more props, the better the magic. All I can say is that learning magic does require an investment of money. I can say that without a large investment of money, it is basically difficult to learn magic well. However, this does not mean that magic is only about money. You also need to have a love for magic, and you also need to invest time in learning and practicing, and you need to constantly hone your performance abilities. As for whether such a magic trick is interesting, you will naturally find out after seeing the audience's reaction.

I personally always disagree with those who despise the use of props. People who claim that anyone can perform anything with props can try it themselves. No matter the techniques or props, only excellent performances are good magic.

P.S. In magic competitions, everyone pays more attention to techniques, not because techniques are important, but because few people invent good props themselves. But if you can show off the excellent props you invented, the effect will be the same, do you understand what it means?
