Magician . . . could you fake it?

Think about all the skills needed for your profession.  Really think about the bare bones of what’s really needed, not all the years you took perfecting it and studying.  Now, could you take an absolute novice, someone with no previous experience or knowledge at all in your profession and teach ’em enough within one month so that that person could stand before a panel of experts to be judged along side folks who are experience professionals in which the panel of judges must pick the fake, the one who isn’t experienced, and fool the judges?

That’s the premise for the British television series Faking It and that’s exactly what this young man did . . . a doctoral students in physics with no experience in magic and absolutely no real presentational or performance or even raw communication skills and he stood before some rather well known magicians and fooled ’em into thinking he was an experienced performer.  Notice the incredible transformation in the young man as well . . . it wasn’t just learning a few tricks but learning the confidence and the presence.

Now that is really well done and quite a transformation.

All the best,
