Hi guys,
I've been into card magic for a little more than a year now. I'm kinda shy so I've only performed for my close friends and family so far.
My university has its welcome party in a month's time. This time around I took the decision to perform and auditioned for it.
The judges were pretty impressed by what I showed them but I want to add here that I didn't give them a proper 'performance' but just did a couple of interactive tricks to demonstrate my skill.
Now there's a month till the party and I've never performed in front of such a large crowd before so I want to be as well prepared as possible. Can you guys give me some tips on confidence building, performance and presentation or anything else?
Also from a technical perspective, card magic isn't really that visual. One of the judges suggested that I move around from table to table but another thought it would be too 'random'. They said it might be possible to have a camera and large screen to be arranged on the stage so everyone can see but that's not confirmed yet. I could also just focus on the chief guests and everyone else could just kinda crowd around.
I apologise for the long post but I would be really grateful if you guys could help me out.
