Thanks Marc, it's great to hear from someone in the industry ... wow, 37 years! Hope you enjoy the fun and magic you create for others!

It is nice to read about magic from an outsider's perspective. Tools like misdirection, pacing and conditioning are certainly the backbone of this Art. But in all fairness, I have only been a magician for 37 years, so I may be wrong. Lol.

I also found the article fascinating James. We can learn in so many different ways so why not in these subtle almost magical ways too!

I've never even thought about it in this way. Thank you for such a fascinating article.
And the thought came to me that it would be nice to use these techniques by teachers on students. I wonder if there are such experiments and studies as you think?
