Survey Request - Shyness and Magic

[ProjectB]

Hi Everyone,

I'm the coach of a team of Australian children competing in an international Science and Robotics competition. One of our young people is a keen (and talented) street magician who has managed to convince the rest of the team to study the use of Magic as a tool for treating shyness/anxiety in children. I'm posting on his behalf due to his age.

As a first step, the team has created a short anonymous survey for Magicians at www.surveymonkey.com/s/8FY9F6Z. The questions deal with how/why Magicians first took an interest in Magic, and the benefits they have received.

The children would appreciate it greatly if you could take the time to look at the survey. It should take less than 10 minutes.

Thanks for your time!

Regards,
Andrew

Great survey. It would be neat to have each person go and learn one trick, then practice and present it to the group to help teach them about presentation and public speaking.
Best of luck!

Thanks Justin - for the survey, your feedback and the advice!

Our Magician has already challenged each member of the team to develop an effect for performance. They plan on using this material when presenting their work to the judges. Should be entertaining

Coincidentally, we were in your country only a few months ago. We were competing in an international tournament at the University of Toronto. Our Magician made sure we visited several magic shops he had scoped out online before we arrived!

Regards,
Andrew
