I'm a big fan of open source magic - partly because it reinforces the notion that magic, like any theatrical art, is always a collaborative endeavor. http://www.scoop.it/t/magic-biz/p/4012988948/2013/12/19/it-s-a-kind-of-hi-tech-magic?hash=6b48e625-ef56-4179-b597-25c4143cbdaa via Buffer

A hot topic for those of us who love magic. Which secrets should be open, and which ones shared? Personally, I think we mostly make too much of secrecy in magic. But it certainly does have it's place in creating the sense of mystery and wonder that is central to the experience of magic. I know many of you who follow my posts are magicians. What's your take on this?

I'm fascinated by the ways our minds work - and looking at the ways they DON'T work gives great clues to that. My friend Jeff McBride shares that fascination, and posted this great Fast Company article about it this morning. Enjoy. If you like the article, you'll really enjoy Dan Ariely's book, "Predictably Irrational," too. http://www.fastcompany.com/3019903/work-smart/8-subconscious-mistakes-our-brains-make-every-day-and-how-to-avoid-them?fb_action_ids=10202751157249392&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=other_multiline&action_object_map=[634541766567815]&action_type_map=["og.likes"]&action_ref_map=[] via Buffer

One of the wizard's great tools is leverage - and today's entrepreneurs create massive leverage through disruptive business models. Here's a good artilcle on just how that can work to effect social change. http://www.scoop.it/t/wizards/p/4012174152/2013/12/04/sharing-can-truly-disrupt-business-by-mixing-money-and-social-change?hash=81950cc4-189a-441b-8891-39900ae07122 via Buffer

Sometimes the wizard walks a fine line, sometimes we fall across it. Those who dare to think unconventional thoughts will often be seen a bit more eccentric, a bit more colorful than those around them! Take this fellow, for example:
