Quote of the Week: Henry Hay
Henry Hay, journalist and magical author, wrote a classic called "The Amateur Magicians Handbook", an essential reading for all Mystery Performers.
A book full with insights and gems, and the Mental Magic chapter is not exception, but we are taking a beautiful quote from Chapter 1 "The Magic State of Mind", a fantastic collection of philosophical conversations that we need to read from time to time to remember what is essential.
Anyone can do a magic or mental trick, but can you offer an authentic and meaningful piece of mystery?
If that sounds to much work for you, is because you dont have the correct guidance. Finding your own authenticity is not as hard as sounds. It is a constant path, an eternal new discovery, and a beautiful and meaningful satisfaction as performer.
You dont need to be "professional" and be paid for your performance to achieve excellence. All Mystery Performers can reach this deeper level, the true relevant factor here is love and proper investment. Dont lose your money, time and energy in the constant fever of the "latest and greatest". Disconnect yourself a little bit of this constant searching for the better gimmick and electronic gizmo and take some time to reflect in the real important questions.
Why I am doing this?
What I want to communicate?
How can I improve my script?
What is the meaning of this piece?
etc.
