Free Training Part Two: ‘Thinking Differently’ Our 50+ Minute Masterclass
In this audio training we discuss:
- The origin of our ‘thinking differently’ technique, and how you can implement it in your magic
- Why reading magic books won’t help you outperform other magicians
- Why magicians get ‘trapped’ inside magic (and why this attitude is wrong)
- A concept we borrowed from a book called ‘The Lean Startup’ that can shave months off of the time it takes you to build a new act (the same strategy used by the world’s most innovative Silicon Valley tech companies)
- How the business strategy of ‘pivoting’ can create memorized deck miracles that are truly ‘one of a kind’
- An exercise used by attendees of $25,000 price seminars that shows you how to dramatically improve your skill set…by learning about hobbies you have ZERO interest in!
- How to get 50% better at magic without putting in crazy amounts of work (we discovered this by reading a book about business management called ‘The Personal MBA’ live on the call)
Free Training Part Three: Andi Gladwin on Life vs Work vs Magic (and the HUGE lessons we took from it)
In this training, we discuss…
- Andi’s advice on ‘work/life balance’ as a magician (and why he’s the wrong person to ask for advice on this topic!
- How Andi takes his mind off of running a magic company (the answer will make you laugh, then you’ll realise how fitting it is)
- The real reason Andi physically can’t stop working on magic (if you have this attitude too, you’re doing it right)
- Our most hard-won discoveries on staying motivated to practice magic (and why ‘motivation’ itself is the WRONG thing to focus on)
- How to do 34 habits every single day—without EVER missing a day (this is Benji’s ‘secret weapon’)
Listen below:
ONE DAY ONLY SPECIAL BONUS TRAINING: David Regal, the story he hates to tell but taught him a HUGE magic lesson.
Where he revealed…
- What nearly all students of the ‘arts’ have in common (that most magicians don’t do enough of)
- David’s problem with the way magicians think about ‘stories’ (and what the REAL definition of story is in magic)
- The story from David’s ‘early years’ that contains the BEST advice he’s ever been given—that also happened to be the hardest to hear! (David was reluctant to share this story, but it has the power to change your magic)
- Why just practicing the ‘moves’ of an effect is not NEARLY enough
- A single sentence Meir Yedid told David that has the power to affect EVERY routine you create from this point onward
