I’ve been a magician MUCH longer than I’ve been a marketer. And I can tell you that to make a living, a professional magician can’t be mediocre. He or she needs to follow these underlying guidelines about the magic they perform: 1. Make the audience gasp when they first see it. 2. Wish they’d thought of it themselves. (How'd he/she do that??) 3. Provide a unique experience. 4. Fit the strategy (performing situation) to perfection. 5. Could be used for 30 years (and still be amazing). 6. Communicate a clear goal or desired response. Does this sound familiar to any of you? It should! Here's short clip of one an all-time favorite of mine. No matter where I perform it I can alter its presentation to fit the moment and the audience. (In fact I use it in my Sleight of Brand workshop!) it's a classic which has stood the test of time, and the rest you can see and hear 🤗 . https://lnkd.in/ePd8rMNz

If you use props, you get extra points. This was disclosed to me by a renowned dance judge in an audition. His words are stuck with me till today. According to him a prop (like scarves, hats, japanese fan): ✨️adds grace to movements ✨️is a special element to grab focus ✨️gives space to cover up forgotten steps For a public speaker the best prop can be 💡Audience. All public speakers face tough spots often: Going blank, forgotten phrases, confused thoughts. But what matters: How do you bounce back? Well, take help of the audience: 📌Reframe your thoughts into a question 📌Pose the question before them or, 📌Turn it into a fun activity. This gives you enough chance to: ✅️Pause, breathe, check the vibe & Restart ✅️Draw cues & words to frame next sentence ✅️Interact with the audience & know them better This trick has changed: fear of being judged to love of being supported. Remember the audience wants you to win. 🎊 PS: This is just an analogy to draw parallel between how the audience is always there to help, no objectification intended.

The road to Purpose & Profit 🚗 💨 Today I had the privilege to talk purpose on a real deep and meaningful way with Tameka on i95.5fm Trinidad. This was an exciting interview Here’s a summary : When asked the question “Who are you?” What’s your response? If your response is a title, a role, a generic term, the best thing you can do for yourself is to sit with this question. Sometimes we use the busyness, activities, music, healthy or unhealthy habits to drown out our own thinking. Sit in silence and answer some questions for yourself! Make plans to join us on June 19 for Purpose & Profit https://lnkd.in/eJK8Ysnk
