Michael Close - How to Design a Three-Trick Set By Michael Close
Attention magicians of all skill levels: It’s time to get your act together!

After being in magic for a few years, most enthusiasts acquire some repertoire – effects they can perform competently. While we spend a great deal of effort learning new tricks, we rarely take the time to organize our tricks into an effective act or “set.” Designing a three-trick set provides many benefits, including some you probably hadn’t thought of. 

This Targeted Training session covers: 

• The advantages of a three-trick set
• The function of each routine in a three-trick set
• Strategies for organizing a set
• Examples from Michael’s published repertoire
• Designing acts for various performance situations
• Expanding the three-trick set into a longer act
• Suggestions for stand-up and stage performers
• A discussion with Mac King on how his act developed
• Suggestions for further study and analysis

This training is designed for magicians of all skill levels.
