Alexander Marsh teaches everything you need to know to excel on stage!
The Art of Stagecraft presents a detailed series of lessons that unlocks the secrets to becoming one of the world’s most exciting professions; the stage mentalist.
This is not a course that focusses tricks; this is an entire masterclass in building a stage act, performing it and getting it seen by thousands of people.
Taught by the headline act for one of the world’s most successful magic tours, this course contains immense value for magicians and mentalists of all skill levels. For beginners, this is your blueprint for becoming the stage performer you’ve always aspired to be and for seasoned professionals, this course will give you a new lens to examine, refine and improve your existing stage acts.
Lessons include:
Your Internal Process
The importance of solidifying your “process”; How the way you want your audiences to perceive you will ultimately shape every artistic decision you make.
Persona
Alex explores different personas and offers insightful advice on how to discover and settle on a persona that’s right for you.
Scripting
Alex proves you don’t need to be a good writer to come up with great scripts for your acts.
Structuring Effects, Routines and Shows
Alex likens the structure of a good trick to the structure of a good joke; they share some fascinating similarities that will help you better construct not only your individual tricks but larger routines and even entire stage shows!
Blocking and Rehearsing
At the risk of looking insane to any onlookers, Alex offers practical advice on rehearsing material in your kitchen or living room. Follow Alex as he rehearses a routine that remains a staple of his paid performances to this day.
Microphone Technique
Traditionally learnt exclusively through (bad) experiences, Alex teaches a very important yet overlooked skill that is rarely spoken about by magicians – how to properly use a microphone!
Openers
Alex discusses the age-old dilemma of what to open your act with.
Getting the Gig
Whether you’re a beginner with no stage experience or performer with many shows under your belt, Alex imparts excellent wisdom to help you secure more shows
Public Relations
How to promote your gigs when you get them. In arguably the most information-packed section of the course, Alex will guide you through interacting with journalists for newspapers, show you how to navigate the modern obstacles of performing on the radio and demonstrate how to blow people away on live television!
And so much more!
Our goal with the new TAO series is not to teach you effects or routines, it’s to teach you how to be a better magician.
Over the course of filming, we learnt so much from listening to Alex talk and we’re extremely confident you will too! Whether you’ve never stepped out on a stage before, or you’re on stage every week, you’ll find immense value in this product.
Each lesson has its own discussion section so you can interact personally with Alexander Marsh and the other students.

I know that I am going to watch this many, many times and learn or pick up something new each time. There is far too much here to review. I highly recommend not skipping sections and watching it in full the first time you watch it and then going back and reviewing the parts that you need.
David Sheehan (verified owner) –
I absolutely love this! I have done many acting courses to try and get a lot of the information that is here to no avail and how Alexander expalins everything is so clear. You will be a better performer and self promoter after watching this!
