Know Your Workshop’s Audience

If you are putting together a “How To” experience of some kind, one of the best ways to start this process is to take a look at your participants and what their needs are. Even if you are not teaching a pre-existing group, you can still gain insight into what those who you will be leading will be like. In much the same way as a movie is made to fit a specific audience, you need to do so when you are putting together a workshop.

Understand Your Students’ Needs

Are your students older, younger or inbetween? What do they do as a living? How does this have an affect on who they are? What approach will be the best to serve them? Will they want to be free to be creative? Or will they respond better to a very specific structure?

You Need to Be Clear Throughout

Something that can make your job easier is from the very beginning have a sense of purpose regarding your workshop. This focus will assist you in making or deleting ideas, because you can always go back to the purpose to help you answer the tough questions. And the great thing is, your workshop can have an arts oriented goal or can be to provide education for some specific branch of business. Both objectives benefit from you having a clear cut path by which to help students find what they are looking for.

Can you become more cosmic?

Full discloser, I am a magician, a conjurer a prestidigitator and so on. I make magical things happen but always explain to my audiences that my performances are illusions, not reality. Funny thing is though, most of us live with illusions. Illusions about who we are, illusions of who we could become.

Depression and Anxiety

But that’s okay. Because it helps you hang on and unlike some of us, avoid not fall into the quicksand of depression and anxiety.

Gum Chewing

For some reason I get tense when people chew gum. Especially while talking and crunching it in their mouth at the same time. It probably comes from directing a myriad of actors, some of whom I’d have to have get rid of their Trident when acting.

Missed the Séance

Sadly, I missed the recent virtual and live Harry Houdini séance on the day of his death on October 31st from his gravesite in Queens, Houdini said that when he died he would come back if he could. I bring up Harry because he apparently was delusional, with many inflated ideas of who he was. But an avid reader of Houdini biographies starting at age 8, I learned how he was able to pick himself up despite setbacks of which there were many. He ultimately beat them all one at a time.

Harry Has Yet to Come Back from Beyond the Grave

These seances happen every year and I attend them when I can. They occur either here in Manhattan, where he lived when he was alive, or as mentioned in the borough of Queens where he is buried. I need to be more mindful when trying to conjure up Erik Weisz (his real name). I guess it is time to start chewing gum.

The Threat of Violence

Our special city has been undergoing changes, some of which are not good, while other aspects are as flourishing as ever. It is a tough time being a New Yorker with the new layers not only including the Pandemic but also the worry about personal safety.

Although not positive, it used to be that gangs only fought with each other. Now their frustration has built as it has for all of us, but the result now can be violence.

The Flight from NYC

All across America we must be vigilant with keeping our homes secure. Manhattan has lost a lot of folks who took flight out of fear of the changes we have been experiencing.

This is the day that many of us have been waiting for. The day when we get to come together as a nation and cast our votes. Depending on where you live in turn reflects the difference. For example you may live in a state, town or city that historically has voted in a particular way that is not aligned with your belief system.

You can make a difference in this scenario by casting your vote and reminding other like minded people to do as well. And if you turn it into a revolution all the better.

But even if you live in an area that usually has mass turnout for elections that elect those you believe are best, you still should vote. Securing a win in your state, town or city starts with you showing up the polls.

Subsequently, we are working toward our next blastoff that will be on December 1. Remember, we are in the pre beta stage with beta starting on January 1, 2021. Thanks for your patience.

Now here are three unusual entries . They are all being excerpted from an eBook being written by a magician on the topic of getting on your billionaire path.
