10 Top Tips For Performing Card Magic
1. Always practise with the deck you will perform the trick with so that you are familiar with it and your sleights of hand will be smooth and will flow well.
2. Only ever chose to perform a trick that you are 100% confident with so that you can perform it with ease and confidence.
3. Don't give any attention to and just ignore hecklers (spectators who try to ruin the trick and steal the attention).
4. Make sure that the angle at which you perform the trick isn't one that is going to reveal the sleights performed to the spectator.
5. Always practice what you're going to say throughout the trick, because the patter that you add to the trick can make a very big difference to the overall performance.
6. After a trick has been performed to certain people do not re-perform the trick to them otherwise they could work it out and the initial 'magical' effect will be taken away.
7. Include enthusiasm and show character when you perform to liven up the whole trick.
8. If you can, wear clothes that give you an impressive magician's presence.
9. Try to use interesting props and equipment to enhance the overall effect of the performance.
10. Just relax when you perform your trick that way you'll enjoy it more and it will be more convincing.

Your Top Tips For Performing Card Magic
Kayne LaRose (NoobCardProductions):
Don't only practice infront of a mirror. You must practice with an audience such as family members and friends. Even friends who know about magic.

When performing, always ask your spectators if they have a deck of cards you can borrow depending if your tricks are impromptu. And don't perform with fancy decks like Guardians and such. Sometimes those decks can be passed off as a trick deck to an audience so keep that in mind.
JJ (CardTricksIScool):
Be cool, calm and collected.
