What do you like most about magic?
I've been listening to a few really great podcasts and interviews lately, and it seems like it's a reoccurring thing...magicians love to perform. Hahaha! That sounds obvious but it's not one of my favorite aspects of magic.
It strikes me as odd that many magicians believe that performing is "the thing that makes it all worth it". There are many other things I love about magic more than performing. Performing, in my eyes, is a necessary part of magic but it's not what I like to do.
I think Alex Elmsley and Woody Aragon shared similar sentiments, in order to share my magic I must perform it, but I really don't consider myself a performer.
What do I like most? I like watching good magic. I like creating magical experiences from behind the scenes. I'd much rather be on a technical theater crew than on stage. I want to create, and build, and test, and then sit back and watch how other people enjoy my creations.
Luckily, I think I've been able to do that and it has set me up to do more.
I think my dream job has to do with being an imagineer for Disney, a special effects director for a theater company, or a producer for a magician. I think there are 30 other jobs that I'd rather do than stand on stage performing magic.
What's your magic dream job? What would be magic heaven for you?
