Pop Haydn shares some of the wisdom he has earned through the years. You know Pop as the founder of the School for Scoundrels. He is the consummate performer.
Pop talks about the use of magic in different ways. How is magic theatrical and how is it different?
In narrative theater, magic supports the story. But if it is done for its own sake the rules change. Pop Talks about performing magic not just doing tricks.
Learn from one of the greatest in Magic.
Pop Hayden, a seasoned magician, shares his insights on the nature of magic and its relationship to theater. He differentiates between narrative theater, where a story is told, and presentational theater, where the focus is on demonstrating the impossible. He explains that magic, as a form of presentational theater, aims to create a story in the spectator’s mind that is both memorable and defensible against skepticism. Hayden also explores the importance of character development in magic, suggesting that creating a compelling persona can enhance the overall experience. He emphasizes that a magician should not let a character dictate their choice of tricks, but rather find tricks that resonate with their persona. Ultimately, Hayden encourages magicians to embrace their unique identities and to create a captivating performance that resonates with their audiences.
