What a beautiful insight from "The Professor" of Magic Dai Vernon, a Magician that has both practical ideas and profound reflections in the art of Magic, which are completely applicable in Mentalism.
How can you give something that you dont have?
If you want to communicate the idea that the billet is just an incidental tool and not a core method in your performance, you need to truly feel that, and in order to achieve that you need to go beyond that method and apply the artifacts and subtleties that can separate yourself from the apparent importance of that billet technique and understand the huge technical dimension beyond the physical.
If you want to create an ambiance of mystery, you need to experience mystery in your inner work and everyday. Awe is an experience that is always available, any time. Just go deeper in your awareness and you will be able to recognize that every second of existence is truly a meaningful miracle.
From that source, every performance that we can share is a dramatic accentuation of the mysteries that you experience. Only in that way you will know and believe that which you can express in performance.
Your intention matter, you matter. You are an essential aspect of Life. Nature inspires us and offer her creativity so we can create beautiful games that are fractals of the wonders of Reality.
If you are interested in these topics and reflections, you can study "The Path of Mystery" and integrate this powerful myth in your own path.
