Not many people here do any dove magic. I will say to get a book on dove magic. That will help a lot and a tip given to me by a guy who used them when he worked at the Branson amusement park is to treat doves like a PROP and not a pet. They are a WELL CARED FOR prop.

@uncleming wow thanks dude please do pm me,ineed as much help as i can get..thanks a bunch...

@bentley awww that seems so unright,i'd rather care for a dove as a pet..or more so a partner..i love animals too much to consider them as a tool for an effect..they are my partners in the effect..hope you see my view in this :)..

I'm the same way BUT I see where he is coming from. He means don't treat them as a pet and get TOO attached and it's easier to train but either way I love watching dove acts and hope for the best.

I want to start doing some dove magic...this thread is also useful for me..

Same... Anyone know where to get actual DOVES? I know you can order dove props like holders, etc at Tannen's online store, and many other places... But I really have no idea where to get doves...

go to any public place, usually a very open place and start throwing seeds around...wait until some doves get around

then get a net and try to catch them...good luck!!

Dove magic is not easy. My brother tried it by raising a couple of Doves and they didn't do what they were supposed to. So, take care.

I would suggest first learning all the production with rubber fake doves. because getting the actual bird is going to take A HELLUVA a lot money and time. With the rubber ones you won't have to spend a ton of money on taking care of them and etc.

I think there is a book that a few websites have that goes over Dove Magic, but I do have a better idea. See if you can find somebody who is willing to spend the time to teach you. Dove Magic is pretty much completely different than Coin or Card magic and is going to be a whole different ball park.

Come Out Flying by Frances Marshall. This actually goes into detail about the care and handling of doves.

TV Dove Classics by Kork Kirkham this teaches you a lot of effects.

That's all I can think of. There is one by Tony Clark as well but I can't remember the name of it. The two I mentioned above should keep you busy for a bit and gain some insight on dove magic. Hope this helps.

Good luck with your birds. They tend to crap everywhere and hate their owners.

Make sure you are really serious about Dove Magic before you get yourself into it. We had 3 guys so far in our ring give up after a year because of the maintenance and caring for the doves...the stench..the noise..and tons of CRAP..(literally).
