Article: There are tricks out there for all levels of magicians. Simple sleight of hand tricks and card tricks are a great place for younger magicians to begin! If you’re enjoying the tricks from the linked article, learn more fundamentals like the back palm vanish, card rise, or coin knuckle roll. Some of these tricks may require some preparation before performing for an audience. For others, you may want to ask a friend to assist you with the trick. While all magicians know sleight of hand, not all of them specialize in these close-up tricks. You can also look into niche fields of magic, including:  Club magic: working in front of medium audiences in a local magic club. Stage magic: working in front of large audiences in a large auditorium or performance venue. Escape tricks: escaping from handcuffs, strait jackets, or heavy chains in front of an audience. Mentalism: talking with audience members and performing tricks of clairvoyance or telepathy. Masters of the art know what an audience wants to see, so pay attention to what types of tricks and what styles modern magicians use. See which magicians appeal to you the most, and try to think about what about their style and approach to the audience appeals to you. You can watch contemporary magicians or even watch videos of some famous magicians to see how they master their art. Here are some magicians you may want to observe carefully:  David Copperfield Tommy Wonder Lisa Menna  Sue-Anne Webster Doug Henning Penn & Teller Harry Houdini S.H. Sharpe Criss Angel Lance Burton David Blane Shin Lim Most magicians started off by going to the library and checking out books about magic and reading them from cover to cover. This can help you have an understanding of the discipline that is truly required to be a magician. Reading and researching will also help you develop skills in private, rather than making mistakes in front of an audience Check out books like:   The Tarbell Course in Magic Volumes 1-8, by Harlan Tarbell and Ralph Reed  Books of Wonder, by Tommy Wonder  Strong Magic, by Darwin Ortiz  Drawing Room Conjuring, by Professor Hoffman  The Fitzkee Trilogy, by Dariel Fitzkee  Mark Wilson Complete Course in Magic, by Mark Wilson  The Amateur Magician’s Handbook, by Henry Hay Though you should still use books to learn about being a magician, online streaming videos or video downloads can also help you hone your craft. There are thousands of them out there and you have to make sure that you’re watching a video from a reputable magician and that you’re not paying for a cheap video with tricks that are too easy. If the videos are made by a knowledgeable, reputable magician, they will feature a variety of tricks which the magician effectively explains. Avoid videos that offer poor explanation, that only present information on very simple tricks, or are made by a clearly incompetent magician. Online communities of amateur and professional magicians can provide useful, practical information to budding magicians. Helpful forums for curious individuals interested in becoming a magician include the Theory11 forum (https://www.theory11.com/forums/cat/magic-forum/), The Magician’s Forum (https://www.themagiciansforum.com/), and The Magic Café (https://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/index.php).  Once you find a forum you’d like to participate in, introduce yourself and say something like:  “I’m interested in learning how to perform magic tricks for my family and friends. What beginner tricks would you recommend, and what sort of equipment would I need for these.” “Hi! I’m starting to learn about performing magic; what’s a great place near [your city] to see magic acts?”

When your garbage disposal starts to smell, there's a chance that there's a clog in the unit somewhere that’s causing the bad odor. In order to get rid of the odor, you must first remove the clog. When cleaning the disposal, never stick your hand into the drain, even if the appliance is turned off. To remove clogs:  Unplug the garbage disposal Shine a flashlight into the drain to see if you can locate any large clogs, stuck food, or other blockages Use tongs, long tweezers, or pliers to remove the blockage Plug the appliance back in Turn on the water, turn on the disposal, and run the disposal for a minute Turn off the disposal, followed by the water Because the disposal is always processing and draining, it can be difficult to give it a good soaking and cleaning. This means food particles can get trapped in the disposal, and they’ll start to smell eventually. To soak the disposal for a thorough cleaning:  Put a plug in the garbage disposal drain Fill the sink with at least 4 inches (10 cm) of water Add 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of liquid dish soap Swish the water around to create suds Unplug the drain Turn on the garbage disposal and let it process the soapy water Turn off the disposal when the water has drained out Once you’ve soaked the garbage disposal housing and loosened any food particles that might be trapped, you can scrub the disposal to dislodge any crumbs that are still stuck. To scrub the visible parts of the appliance:  Rinse a dish wand or scrub brush with water Pour a liberal amount of liquid dish soap onto the brush Scrub the accessible parts of the garbage disposal, including the rim in the sink basin and the inside of the drain Put at least 10 ice cubes into the basin where the garbage disposal is. Cover the ice cubes with ½ cup (96 g) of coarse salt. Turn on a slow stream of water, turn on the disposal, and push the ice cubes and salt toward the drain. Run the disposal until the ice cubes and salt are gone. The ice cubes will help dislodge any stuck-on food particles, and the salt will scrub the impeller blades and remove possible odor sources. To flush out any leftover debris or remnants, turn the cold water on full blast and direct the stream into the garbage disposal drain. Turn on the garbage disposal and let it and the water run for one to two minutes. Always turn the water on before running the disposal, and turn the disposal off before shutting off the water.
