Try new tricks on friends or family to avoid detection. Listen to their comments and make adjustments as needed. Work on improving your presentation, entertainment is the key to a good performance. Never tell how a trick is done. Vary your tricks depending on your target audience. Practice your magic in the order you plan to perform your tricks. This is especially important when you start performing on stage.
If you get nervous before performances, practice breathing and relaxation exercises. Also try speaking the words you plan on using when you practice regularly. Always leave the spectators wanting more. Less is really more in some cases, plus you will need to know more tricks the next time you see people who know you do magic. When spectators look at a chosen card, have them show it to the audience in case they forget it, it happens too often!
If someone asks how you did a trick, tell them “Very Well”, or “Very Carefully”. Never repeat any trick for any one ever! Magic relies on misdirection, and this does not work as soon as someone has seen a trick.
