Comedy magic putting comedy in your magic act

Comedy Magic - Putting Comedy in Your Magic Act Without any doubt, Comedy Magician is the one ingredient which appeals most to an audience and supplies the greatest possibility for an entertainer who uses magic as his material. Just look at who are the highest paid entertainers on film and television ­ the majority are comedians! So how does a magician add comedy to his shows?


Most magician's start out doing straight performing, either close up, stage or illusions and do not consider themselves comedians, but magicians. That is fine, but you know that getting a few laughs in your show helps the audience relax and lightens the mood. Many Comedy Magicians will actually get so good at adding comedy, that they will switch their performing style to comedy.


IF you decide you want to perform Comedy Magician - you should forget you are a magician and think like a comedian and then add the magic into your act to support the comedy. A perfect example of this is The Amazing Jonathan. His act is pure "comedian" with lots of magic on top of his act. When you watch people like John Ferrentino do his comedy magic act, he focuses more on the comedy than the magic.
