There was a time when you could learn magic from an issue of Donald Duck & Co.

Learn magic

Learning magic is fun, educational and entertaining for children. Today the easiest way to learn is probably through Trylleskolen, an online magic school (in Danish).

There, magician Peter Jakobsen has gathered a lot of skilled magicians who actually teach you the secrets of magic.

There, magicians of all ages meet, exchange secrets and learn magic. From time to time there are also seminars, often featuring prominent stars from abroad.

They are usually very educational. They are mostly in English, though, so it is important that you understand English before you turn up for such an event.

I personally travel to seminars and courses abroad 2–3 times a year to see what the international magic dealers have to offer. That is also how I keep up to date in the field.

Magic conventions and championships

The greatest and most ‘magical’ experiences I have had, though, must be taking part in the World Championships of Magic, organised by FISM (Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques).

The World Championships are held every three years, and I have attended since they were held in The Hague in the Netherlands in 2003. After that I was in Stockholm in 2006, and in 2009 it was Beijing in China, which was nothing less than a huge experience.

In 2012 it was the turn of Blackpool in England. Blackpool also hosts the world’s largest magic convention, the Blackpool Magic Convention, organised by the Blackpool Magician’s Club. I have lost count of all the times I have been to Blackpool, but it has become many visits by now.

There are two huge halls and a whole balcony filled with magic dealers.

The biggest problem with being at a magic convention is that you simply buy so many tricks to take home, which seem so fantastic when you have just seen them at a seminar, but which you unfortunately never get round to using when you get home.

I actually have a couple of paper bags in my cupboard with tricks I have not yet opened but simply had to own. I think it is something about just WANTING to own the secret, and then you unfortunately never find the time to look at it.

One of the fantastic things about conventions, besides the camaraderie with the other magicians, is the amazing gala shows. The gala show includes entertainment from some of the world’s best magicians and other top entertainment, including from Las Vegas.

When you have performed professionally since 1996, it certainly leaves its mark, and you often think about how you could invent a new magic trick. There is in fact a whole industry in selling magic tricks to both professional and hobby magicians.

There are many people who only have magic as a hobby and not as a profession, and they can actually be really good at magic and fun entertainment too.

On the other hand, I make sure it is fun for the whole family.

I ensure that by communicating on two levels, one for the adults and one for the children, so that everyone is entertained. And if you can involve the children in the show itself, something unexpected always happens.

Making balloon animals for the children is also always popular. The most popular balloon animal, however, is not a balloon animal at all, it is a balloon sword. It is amazing that even the girls want swords. The girls also love balloon flowers and parrots.

Magic is a healthy hobby

There is a sea of magicians offering to perform at various events with fun entertainment.

So how do you choose the right magician?

Next, you can look at the list of references from those who have used this magician.

Magicians can be as skilled as you like, but they quickly become boring to watch if nothing extra is done to hold the audience’s attention.

What a magician should say and do also depends on the audience the magician is addressing.
If, for example, it is children who are going to watch a magician, then pace, colours, clown noses, balloon animals and flowers are a good idea.

Most children also love being allowed to join in and help the magician

Magic for silver and golden wedding anniversaries

It has become especially popular to have a magician at a confirmation party, and confirmations take place on just a few days each year.

So it pays to be in good time when you want entertainment for a confirmation.

Call +45 22 32 19 52 as soon as you know the date. It can also be very hard to find a venue for a confirmation, so being in good time is a good idea there too.

If you need fun entertainment with a magician who speaks English, Robert is the right choice.

One thing is certain, though: magician Robert Mark is happy to refer you to other magicians

If the magician needs to speak a particular language other than English, which Robert masters himself, he is happy to refer you to other skilled magicians.

Robert entertains young and old. The show is always adapted to the audience so that everyone feels entertained.
