    How to Script Your Magic with Precision l Ch. 2
    Feb 5 2026
    Episode DescriptionStop sounding like every other magician using the same "invisible deck" patter. If you want to differentiate yourself and create a show that is a cohesive performance rather than just a collection of tricks, this chapter is your roadmap. Learn how to find your unique voice so your audience remembers you, not just the props you used.What you’ll learn in this chapter: In this session, we dive into the psychology of scripting and character development using frameworks from magic legend Pete McCabe. We explore:
    • The simple "3-adjective" exercise that defines your entire stage persona.
    • How to audit your current scripts to ensure they actually fit your character.
    • A "bonus" method using movie genres to help you identify what kind of performer you naturally are.
    • Why you don't need to "invent" a character from scratch when you can highlight what's already there.
    Time-Stamped Chapter Notes
    • 00:00 - The Scripting Dilemma Learn why most magicians struggle to move beyond a basic collection of tricks to a professional-feeling show.
    • 00:25 - The McCabe Method An introduction to Pete McCabe’s Scripting Magic and why his approach is the gold standard for performers.

    • 03:04 - Using Movie Genres for Inspiration How identifying your favorite film genres—like psychological thrillers or comedies—can reveal your performer type.
    • 03:26 - Beyond "Just Doing Tricks" A summary of how staying in character transforms a sequence of puzzles into a true performance.
    • 03:44 - Today’s Challenge The specific reflection question and action step to take your magic to the next level today.
    Reflection Question: What are the three adjectives that describe you most as you perform, or the three traits you are most trying to highlight in your character?

    Feb 5 2026
    Stop relying on faster sleights to fool your audience. Learn the psychological "gorilla in the room" secret that makes your methods invisible and your performances truly unforgettable.What you'll learn in this chapter: In this episode, we dive into the science of inattentive blindness and why it is a magician's best friend. You will discover:
    • Why technical speed and "bad jokes" aren't real misdirection.
    • How to use the "Gorilla Experiment" logic to hide your methods in plain sight.
    • Practical ways to nest secret moves—like deck switches or billet peeks—inside natural, justified actions.
    • The danger of over-relying on expensive tools without a strong presentation.
    Time-Stamped Chapter Notes
    • 00:00 - The Problem with "See-Through" Magic An exploration of why many performers feel their procedures are boring and their methods are too obvious to the audience.
    • 00:46 - The Dancing Gorilla A breakdown of the famous inattentive blindness experiment and how it serves as the perfect model for magic misdirection.
    • 01:25 - Defining Real Misdirection Moving away from fast moves toward structuring a presentation where the audience is "thinking in the fiction."
    • 02:08 - Practical Application & Justification Examples of how to use natural tasks, like having a spectator write on a card or look in an envelope, to cover your secret work.
    • 03:00 - The Trap of the Method Why buying expensive tools often leads magicians to focus too much on the "invisibility" of the prop rather than the entertainment of the show.
    • 03:52 - Closing Thoughts and Reflection Why a good presentation makes the method invisible while helping the audience remember the effect.
    Reflection QuestionWhat is my audience tracking while the method is happening?Action StepTake your favorite magic effect and ask yourself how you can wrap it in a natural presentation or game where every item and action is fully justified.Ending Call to Action
