Creativity III - How Magicians Apply Creativity To Their Shows (Episode 119)

FEATURE TOPIC: Creativity III - How Magicians Apply Creativity To Their Shows

Connecting the dots and putting it all together

In the past two episodes on creativity, we’ve talked about how we capture ideas and our own personal rules for creativity.

The idea in steps 1 and 2 is to just let ideas run wild, record them and validate them with your own rules. If your original objective through all this was to make a virtual show. You probably now have a list of tricks and concepts you are more than excited to share. So let's dive into that.

But FIRST: One VERY Important aspect of CREATIVITY that we haven’t yet discussed is EXPLORING AND LEARNING COMPLETELY unrelated interests-- seeing what other industries are doing and how it can apply to magic

You CANNOT drive down the same road for 20 years and expect to see new things. Take roads less travelled.

Putting it all together:

Remind yourself of your objective

Make a new virtual magic show?
Design a new website?
Design a sales deck for virtual shows?

Remind yourself who you are and what you want to say.

How does it all connect?

I remember first starting out with my virtual show - it was a display of tricks. No message and overtime I figured that messaging out. But I have also played with the structure of my virtual show and the flow of tricks.

The first thing I look at is what props are needed before and after, what am I left with after a trick is done? Can those props/items be connected to the next piece of magic?

TRANSITIONS IN MAGIC ARE IMPORTANT!

A true sign of a POLISHED MAGICIAN can be found in their TRANSITIONS!

Show Structure

The second thing to look at is the overall flow of the show. Start strong, end strong.

Let everything slowly build in the middle.

How can be creative specifically with your TARGET AUDIENCE?

Finally, think about your target audience.

Does everything fit with them? Connect with them? Relates with them? This is where I’ll go back through and punch up all the little details or even remove something!

Romaine - The Monarch of Manipulators ft. Luiz Castro

info@ryanjoyce.com (Ryan Joyce) — Wed, 31 Mar 2021 11:55:29 +0000

Today on this very special episode of Magicians Talking Magic we pay tribute to Romaine. In 2012, Graeme was fortunate enough to interview Roman at Kind of Magic in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

This interview has never been released until now.

Not only will you hear this first-ever interview, but Graeme also connected with Romaine’s Mentee, Luiz Castro.

Romaine was mentored by the greats such as Cardini and Slydini and has influenced most of today’s masters. He performed at the end of the Vaudeville era and appeared on the Ed Sullivan show. Legend is putting it mildly. Today’s episode is a salute to the Monarch of Manipulators.

Today on the podcast we’re chatting with Kyle & Mistie Knight! Recorded at the beginning of the pandemic, you’ll see how spot-on their predictions were about the cruise industry, event industry and magic.

It doesn’t take long to get to some interesting discussions, but first, we’re distracted with an adorably puppy, and I have to find out if he will become part of the show.

They discuss predictions for the future of the cruise industry and what the first phase of cruise reopening might look like. We talk about Kyle’s project during the pandemic and if COVID will change how magicians create material.

We recorded this episode early on in the pandemic, it was riddled with audio failures and we released several clips during our livestreaming but I wanted to spend a little time and clean it up for you, so you can enjoy the whole interview with Kyle and Mistie!

I hope to reconnect with them soon for an update. Enjoy!
