Children learn sleight of hand..
It’s all in the presentation.
That’s how to become a successful magician, according to Quebec City’s Jean Deshais, who put on a one-hour workshop for about 20 kids at the North Bay Public Library, Thursday.
Deshais, who was also presenting workshops around the city and in Callander and Bonfield this week, said it’s the presentation that will determine whether a magician’s show is a success or not.
“The tricks are not important. You have to entertain,” Deshais said. “The presentation is everything. If you just do trick after trick after trick, it’s not magic. You have to entertain your audience. And you don’t do that by just doing tricks.” ( By PJ Wilson for the Nugget )
