The attack of the clones

23, August 2024

You might think that I'm talking about Star Wars.

But I'm not.

What's your second guess?

I see. We are thinking of the same thing now.

Most magicians / mentalists are carbon copies of each other. Saying that we imitate each other is an understatement, yet something most conjurors don't want to hear. But it's something that cannot be denied.

Or do you disagree?

Now here's the million dollar question.

There is this idea: just be yourself. Be the "heightened" version of yourself and you will do great.

But if we all are ourselves, why are we still all the same?

I have some ideas, but I'll let you figure this out by yourself.

Then, think. What is unique about you?

And what's not?

Which side of you, do you prefer?

I hope we are again thinking about the same thing.

Now you have a heading to steer your ship towards.

Sail away, and don't look back.
