Why magicians?
Ideas fail. Methods need rebuilding. Limitations appear. Magicians learn to stay inventive while protecting the clarity, emotion and impact of the final experience.
Through live demonstrations, stories and participation, Fergus Flanagan and Neb Maciver reveal the professional thinking behind magic without revealing its secrets.
More than an ideas session
Explore problems from more than one angle and avoid becoming trapped by the most immediate or familiar solution.
Give ideas shape, meaning and emotional relevance so that other people can understand why they matter.
Respond more constructively when an idea fails, feedback is difficult or a promising route needs to change.
Create an environment where people contribute possibilities, build on each other’s thinking and take creative risks together.
Manage the anxiety that can appear when people must improvise, present unfinished thinking or perform in front of others.
Combine presence, audience awareness and performance skills to bring ideas to life.
Designed around your organisation
