معلومات عن هذه الحلقة
In this episode we dig into what your magician character believes they are actually doing when they present magic. What is really happening to cause the magic effect? What does it mean when they snap their fingers?
Understanding the source of your power will clarify your presentation, fill out your character, and make your show more interesting.
