Magician Park Min-beom introduces 'Show and Prove', a book containing 3 years of stage records and revenue details

Magician Park Min-beom introduced his book 'Show and Prove', which concentrates his activity records and magic know-how from the past three years. In the released video, Park Min-beom stated that he included proven works he has continuously produced over the last three years along with his own unique know-how.

Part 1: Containing card magic techniques and presentation methods

In Part 1 of the book's composition, four types of card magic are covered. According to the explanation in the video, it includes routines such as a presentation where the magician appears to fail while removing a number of cards specified by the audience from a shuffled deck, but the number of a specific card matches the number the audience said; the process of guessing the number of cards for each suit and what the remaining cards are; and magic where the four Aces move one by one to the opposite hand or all cards turn into Kings at the last moment. In particular, he interestingly explains the saying that "hands are faster than eyes," and through works suitable for performing at a small scale, one can also learn about timing and direction, which are essential practical skills.

Additionally, an impossible presentation is covered where the magician guesses a remembered card at a random point where the audience stops spreading the cards face-up. This presentation utilizes techniques used in past PH works and interesting accoutrements, and it is structured so that one can learn natural and clever scripting written in Korean from the start, instead of lines written in English. Furthermore, it includes an Oil and Water routine where the entire process is conducted transparently, from the appearance of the card's performance to the moment of separation, all performed face-up.

From performance preparation to revenue settlement: Practical records behind the stage

In Part 2, the process of growing as a magician and practical information are revealed. Starting with his first solo performance 'Near In Dear' on July 8, 2023, when he was 21 years old, Park Min-beom has performed every Tuesday for a year starting from May at a venue called Before Sunset. He also captured the process of running without rest, such as participating in magic competitions and appearing as a guest in performances held by several famous magicians.

Based on these experiences, the book step-by-step covers topics one might be curious about, from how to start a performance to what magic to perform during a show and how to conduct rehearsals. Additionally, he reveals for the first time the secrets that served as the foundation for his growth over the past few years. He shares the detailed journey of the last three years, including moments outside the stage, such as how to find and promote performance venues, moments on stage, such as how to handle an audience, and even thoroughly dissecting revenue based on actual settlement details.
