I'm always excited when a new project is revealed. Part of me likes the secret being kept until the right moment, but it's also interesting to share it with the world. In this case, I haven't shared it with everyone yet, but the reactions from this small group have been nothing but pleasant. Many people have already completed the questionnaire, and as I begin reading the answers, I find a wealth of interesting data to share in the book. It's too soon to reveal any of it here, but eventually I will open a few exceptions before the book is printed. Thank you to all who have already participated in this adventure. If you haven't, don't forget to join in.
Why is it important to get these answers? As a magician, a lot of my work is based on understanding how an audience thinks and perceives information. There is some research on this topic, but much of it is irrelevant when designing an experience. Therefore, based on my knowledge, I have created some rules that I believe (yes, not know, but believe) are part of how others respond to what they see and experience. Those will be detailed in the book. The more I kept writing about these, the more I understood that my beliefs only had one real source of information: my experience. My experience is subjective, and therefore, the accuracy of what I write about would be questionable. However, having created a platform for interaction with my followers, it would be beneficial to share these ideas with an authentic audience, allowing me to gather data that either supports or entirely contradicts my beliefs. We will see the result.
Until then, I will keep gathering as much information as possible.
