Vanish Magic Magazine no. 39

The doubters think I’ve used stooges, the subjects enlighten
the doubters of the exact opposite (fully supported by their
flabbergasted friends and family!) The believers and aware ones
raise questions with both the doubters and the subjects on
varying facets of psychology and on and on!
The post-show conversations after a magic show don’t reach such
penetrating levels far beyond the awe and astonishment of the
effects.
Performing magic does offer the observant and seasoned
performer wonderful opportunities to play with (and utilize)
human perception and mental processes.
The audience knows this is happening to them, they don’t know
(and shouldn’t know) how or when. That’s what makes the magic
effect successful.
In my hypnosis show, the entire scope of human perceptions
and beliefs is fully exposed directly to them. What an awesome
paradox!
I can truly see the passion in Matthew’s approach to his work, life
and interaction with others. He is a great person to spend time
with and I hope you get the opportunity to see him work and
spend time with him. He has his own practice in Colorado if you
would like to know more.
I also had a funny thought that differs from magic: Hypnosis is
a job where putting members of the audience to sleep is a good
thing.
Most importantly my time with Matthew has shown me to stay
positive, find your mission and follow it. Success and happiness
will follow you.
