Rediscovering the inner child
This week, my wife and I attended our first magic show (https://www.asiwind.com/), a long-anticipated experience for me. My fascination with magicians began after watching David Blaine's TED Talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFnGhrC_3Gs; they often strike me as intriguing personalities, driven by a deep passion and a sense of wonder that's almost childlike in its purity.
While Asi Wind’s show was mind bending and highly entertaining, there were elements of his routines that aroused skepticism or at least put the magic behind his choreography into question.
The real magic happened after the main show when we got to sit down at a table with him and a few other attendees and he improvised card tricks (not unlike this Andrew Huberman clip: ). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6oMqP6dJY0&t=15s
Some of these tricks were nothing short of incredible, a masterclass in preparation, execution and craftsmanship producing pure awe and wonder in the onlookers.
If you have the chance, reengage with your inner child and go to a magic show near you.
