To keep audiences engaged online or offline, performers have to develop new illusions and variations on beloved tricks continuously. Whether that means incorporating interesting props or combining classic illusions, the end goal is challenging viewers' expectations. Confidence is necessary for both stage and virtual magicians who perform in front of various audiences. A magician should stay calm through even the most elaborate tricks while still engaging the audience with humor and showmanship. Any versatile performer knows that completing predictable tricks will only bore the crowd. Instead, the audience should become so engaged that they'll want to learn the tricks themselves. Whether they're performing through a virtual call or in person, a confident performer will speak with authority about their skills and experience.
