A well-presented magic show is a form of communal confession that our perceptions are often manipulated and our assumptions are easily skewed. Wonder is a dynamic act, motivating us to become engaged and reactive, and this happens naturally when we experience a live magic show. We suspend our disbelief and quite literally we let the magic happen in our own mind. The magician merely guides the journey of perception. Local magic shows enhance family gatherings and community events and the successful Hometown Magician becomes a familiar figure who not only entertains, but becomes part of the fabric of community life.
Local magic shows provide two important elements. The first is the awareness of the present, an awakening to the importance of that moment in time. The other is the creation of memories that connect that moment to other events and experiences. The moments of awareness and memories help give our life an elevated meaning beyond mere existence.
It takes a special kind of discipline and experience to become an effective Hometown Magician, and that experience is not easy to come by. There must be a commitment to living concurrently as both a citizen and a celebrity.There is also the burden of managing unusual schedules and demands while making a liveable income
Today’s culture and technologies offer a path forward for those who embrace the role of a Hometown Magician. The call for a local magic persona who provides journeyman services in an uplifting fashion remains universal. The rewards in personal development are endless for an entertainer willing to embrace this lifestyle.
