Hot take. Magic is cool

Also hot take. "I don't know" is a superpower.

A conversation with Ben Cardall about muscle shirts, magic, mind reading, skepticism, belief, and why certainty is often overrated.

Magicians: your false method is not creating mystery. It's doing the opposite.

Method is the opposite of mystery... 🤦

[Kent Axell @KentAxell]

you're right.
*you* don't need a disclaimer. 😂 When audiences watch *your* show, there's absolutely no risk of them getting the wrong idea.

Your ego is not your friend. It's the thing that's keeping you from changing for the better.

Magicians,

You can exist on a spectrum that looks like this:

Mystery <-----------> Charlatan

or it can look like this:

Magician <-----------> Mystery

I don't see what's so bad about the latter.

The door isn’t open yet.

But it will be.

In this, the first day of the year of our lord, 2026, I'd like to remind everyone that it's 'Et Cetera', not 'Ex Cetera' and that it's 'Etc.' not 'ect.

Magic spells are just small moments of beautiful intentionality.

Don't worry about 'theming' your magic show until you can create a believable presentation without themed props. Until you can do this, the fact that your using 'playing cards' instead of 'tarot cards' is not the problem.
