We all love seeing something impossible occur and that is what makes magic so fun and entertaining to watch. I got into magic about a year ago after I secured a summer camp job where I had to take care of kids 24\/7. I was really scared and was desperately looking for something that would help me bond with the kids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is how I came across magic. I learned a few simple tricks and it was a huge hit among the kids as well as the other counsellors like me. Soon I bought a course on Udemy and started following several channels on YouTube. Now I take a deck of cards with me everywhere I go; it is a great way to make new friends and break the ice with strangers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Magic trick tutorial with student Yash Chawla\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iWfpXph9c7I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I also try and perform everywhere I can. For example, I performed at Loughborough\u2019s Got Talent and a month later I performed at a pub in Leicester as well. I love the rush of doing tricks as well as the reactions I get after I successfully perform a trick. I am constantly trying to learn new tricks and explore new territories in world of magic. Currently, I am giving mind-reading and mentalism a try. If you want to learn card magic, there are some amazing courses on Udemy and here is a list of YouTube channels for amateurs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li>Mismag822<\/li><li>52kards<\/li><li>Chris Ramsay<\/li><li>A million card tricks.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>These are a just a few out of a hundred amazing magic channels on YouTube, and I personally would happy to help you out \ud83d\ude03<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By Yash Chawla<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Yash is a second-year Drama with Business Studies student at Loughborough.
