This weekend we are working with a talented group of magicians who want to become better speakers & presenters, and a group of speakers who want to learn what magicians know about lifting the level of their presentations. An exciting challenge for Jeff McBride, Steve Shapiro and myself. The great thing is, we already know that magic and speaking are natural partners. The things that help make for a great talk: Connection, storytelling, a clear purpose and more–can really help the performing magician create better shows. In a similar vein, magicians know the importance of getting audiences involved, directing their attention, and the delightful power of surprise.
I’m really looking forward to inspiring and learning alongside my fellow faculty and all the students who will be with us. With an luck, before the class is ended, the difference between the “talks we gave, and the ones we wish we gave,” won’t be large at all.
Another experiment on the path leading us all to become more powerful and effective humans–real wizards!
