Silent voices shouting everywhere
Silent, yet still rising through the air,
Eyes that look but do not see,
Beating heart inside of me,
Forever wanting their life back,
No more wandering this lonely track,
To talk, to laugh, be understood,
To live their lives as they should,
One year there, next year gone,
Like the setting of the sun,
The Dementia Demon comes along,
Takes away your favourite song,
I have all this yet to come,
Vacant stare, body numb,
But to the end and from the start,
Place your hand around my heart,
Feel it beat inside of me,
Look in my eyes and you will see,
Happy scenes without a tear,
And my silent voice you will hear.

Silent Questions | MindSways - April 2013
SEEING THROUGH ILLUSIONS

Hi,
The principle that powers Mind Magic and what we focus on in the Sleight of Mind Set workshops, is how we influence the silent questions in the minds of others. The tricks, illusions and pieces of performance we teach you on the SMS give you the tools and techniques to answer the silent questions. For more on this and information on the workshops, please see mindsways.com/SMS/
Every time someone sees us, silent questions are stimulated in their minds. Every time we see or meet someone else silent questions are fired off in our minds. Though the questions are many, I would say that there are three dominant questions which arise when we are getting our message across;
What is your story?
Why should I care?
Do I need to pay attention?
All magic takes place in the theatre of our mind, as do the silent questions. It is in our minds that we pull together our experiences and answer the silent questions. I understand that all of life's experiences do not take place in the mind, but it is our mind that filters, interprets and creates meaning for us.
In communications theory the saying "it's not us, its them" has great importance.
Likewise in Psychological Artistry and in our Sleight of Mind Set workshops these take on a very important role. This is why understanding the silent questions are so important. The answer to these silent questions determines whether we grab and hold people's attentions or not. For more on the workshops, please see mindsways.com/SMS/
THEATRE OF THE MIND - Tricks on 3 Levels
On the workshop we uncover tricks, look at making a trick into an effect and making the effect into a piece that works for you. The three levels we work on are:
Effect of a trick - triggers "how did you do that?"
Analysis of a trick - triggers "why does this trick work? Why does the effect happen?"
Practicality of a trick - explores how you can use the tricks
This involves using a combination of Psychology, Neuroscience, Smart Thinking and the ideas, tools and techniques from Mind Magic. The principles and lessons are useful in understanding our belief systems, how we think and act. It is in our minds that we experience emotions, thoughts and actions. These are in turn determined by the silent questions we ask ourselves.
We use Mind Magic effects as a reflection of how the mind works. We use the 3 levels above as a lens to increase our understanding how our minds control our actions, emotions and thoughts. It is through this that our minds tell us stories that justify our actions.
For more on this, please see mindsways.com/SMS/
SILENT LANGUAGE OF BELIEFS
Throughout the workshop we work with the theme of "All is not as it appears". Please take a look here at these example, the McGurk effect and Prof. Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect", a well-known Fred Astaire clip and Rory Sutherland's Perspective Is Everything talk. You can see them by going to mindsways.com/SMS/#PsychologicalArtistry. These show very clearly the importance of understanding the fact that
"We cannot believe what we see, but we see what we believe."
This is vital in all communications but also is a cornerstone in Mind Magic. The videos illustrate both the power and the approach of Psychological Artistry. I would love to know what you think.
THE FEEDBACK - What People Say
The feedback from the workshops have been extremely positive, with people (from last weeks workshops) saying things like:
"It really was most enjoyable and enlightening"
"Fantastic day... a great eye opener!"
"Another great course, with plenty to think about and over"
The workshops have been enjoyed and shown to be beneficial to many people over the past year. The events have been attended and proved to be relevant to people from a wide range of backgrounds including entrepreneurs, business consultants, health professionals, coaches of life, performance and sports, therapists, hypnotherapists, trainers etc.
This is an unorthodox approach to understanding human behaviour, illustrating and promoting our messages, and this is where the real power lies. As Marty Neumeier says in ZAG " Be Different - NO Really Different". For more on what people say, please see mindsways.com/WPS/
WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY?
There are many definitions of psychology, some people will say it's about interpreting thoughts, influencing people's behaviour or getting a better understanding of motivation. It is all of these and more, but the one that sums it up for me is "the science of how we think".
Next is the artistry part, again, there have been many definitions but I like to think that artistry is a blend of:
Creating connection, rapport and emotions
Telling stories
Gaining and holding attention
Producing insights
Displaying human nature
Cognition
Show, Not Tell
Multiple Moments of Interest, Interaction and Insights (MMI's)
Therefore, Psychological Artistry is the blending of these two to create a method for successful communication. Psychological Artistry is where science and art meet Mind Magic.
The real power of Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry lies not with just the tricks, but the effect that the delivery of the tricks have on people, tapping into the emotions of mystery combined with the personal touch and firing off the silent questions. On the workshops and in the SNT kit, we give you the tricks, however, learning to use them with what you do is where the real power lies.
By delivering these tricks, you can evoke the making of the extraordinary. By combining the tricks with the energy of your words, your message and your personality, you make yourself stand out, stimulate fascination and create interest in you. This is when the real magic happens, in the theatre of the minds.

Set of three photos of my snowblower, which has sat mostly unused this winter. Usually I have used it 10 or 20 times by this date in a normal winter. We usually have 5 to 6 foot snowdrifts in the back yard. This year? Hardly any.
It's a weird winter when the UK has received more snow than this part of intermountain US.
