How do you end a magic trick without giving it away too much?

Question

I feel like I can do magic tricks pretty well but I feel like I don't know how to end them. Like there's one where i slide is off the table secretly but what do I do after the trick is over because it might look too obvious if I stand up and it falls to the groud? There's other cases to not just this one.

Answer 1

The end of the trick is the most important part.. if you can't pull off the end of a trick then you aren't that great at performing... what you need to do is do the "dirty work" in an off beat - or when someone is laughing, or being amazed.. look around at the reactions, and while doing so retreive what is in your lap and palm it, pocket it, or do whatever you'd like.. be creative - this is your magic - take charge.

Answer 2

Depends on each cases, most magic routine, if properly created, should ends with you "being clean".

If you're lapping a coin, I guess you have to make sure you know where on your lap the coin is, as you stands up, sometimes people tend to hold both hand on their lap like on a pushing manner. I'm not sure if its describe correctly lol. But I think you should know the motions. just use your palm to palm away the coin as you stand up. Or you can pretend to sit with your hands on your lap, lol. Palm away your coin.

It all depends on the specific trick. like the cigarette routine, if you're doing in a video, you can end it with the cigarette vanish, but in real life, is beter to end the routine with the cigarette visible

Answer 3

find a way to do another trick off of the first so its a combination or do it in reverse if possible.. you want to end the trick with the item in your hand.
