A beautiful insight from Max (from this interview)
What is your goal in your performance?
If you dont care about the after-effect (or the Fruits as I call them from the Tree Model) of your performance, thats fine. You can still create powerful Mentalism without the need of transcending the experience, but personally I am with Max in this one. I always want to go beyond the performance and offer a symbolic gift.
Meaning, Connection, Artistry, Beauty and all those beautiful concepts that we can offer from the foliage of our interaction and performance with your participants and audience.
Mentalism offers huge implications not just as entertainment but as a human experience that inspires the imagination.
Go beyond the common mainstream desire to be impressive and create impressions. The reaction of the climax is not just a goal but a bridge towards a deeper goal.
If you are interested in deeper reflections about the Tree Model be sure to check The Path of Mystery
Thanks Max for your constant inspiration
