Jaden decided to do a little climbing in the park and then couldn't figure out how to get down. Still working with actions. They can be tricky.

My sister recently moved to Colorado to pursue her doctorate degree. I decided to send her a little care package. All it contains is candy - and what girl doesn't crave that!

Tapping Into Popularity
Tricks, Effects and Pieces
The Workshop
Psychological Artistry
You Can't Believe What You See
What Others Say
Hi,
We now have the dates for the Sleight of Mind Set workshops in 2013. The Sleight of Mind Set Workshops are one day workshops all about learning and applying Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic (Mentalism) ideas and techniques to what you do. See www.mindsways.com/SMS for more information.
We can learn valuable lessons from mind magic about how we think, act and behave. We can also use mind magic to illustrate human nature and our psychology. Adding psychological artistry to your delivery adds both the spice of excitement and taps into the enduring popularity of magic and psychology.
Tapping Into Popularity & The Personal Touch
If you look at the most popular "tags" in Amazon, you will see standing out the terms "magic", "mystery" and "paranormal". See www.mindsways.com/SMS for the image. In today's environment, we have to be able to be heard above the noise and stand out if we are attract people. By tapping into psychological artistry and mind magic, you are mining a rich resource that has popular appeal.
Over the past 18 months I have also noticed a trend, as the power of technology expands and we are surrounded by screens of all sorts, we value face to face interactions and the personal touch much more. What we focus on in the workshops, is combining using your head (smart thinking) and the personal touch. It is all about contributing to your reputation and adding value to what you do.
When you engage using mind magic and psychological artistry, you are tapping into;
People's passion, fascination and curiosity
Mystery and true difference
What makes novelty and newness appealing
Their crystallised knowledge and enhancing fluid knowledge
Cognitive fitness ideas by creating a workout for their brain
Tricks, Effects and Pieces
On the Sleight of Mind Set Workshop, we talk about the difference between tricks, effects and pieces. Briefly; a trick is a clever puzzle, it becomes an effect when it is presented and surrounded by story, meaning and/or emotion. It becomes a piece when the effect is woven into the very fabric of your personal brand and delivery. It then has the power to command attention, illustrates and communicates what you are about, allowing you to stand out.
The Sleight of Mind Set Workshop aims to give you a sound knowledge of the ideas, tools and techniques that form psychological artistry, but also quality material that you can add to your delivery (you get the SNT kit and the SMS package, see www.mindsways.com/SMS for more info). The day builds your own critical thinking skills, and provides new perspectives that allow you to step away from your own bias.
Innovation and creativity lies at the heart of Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic, so whether you are already actively engaged in using your creative skills or just looking to stimulate and nurture your creativity, you will find practical tools for releasing the spirit of innovation and creativity on the Sleight of Mind Set workshop.

Psychological Artistry
A couple of interesting examples of how all is not as it appears are the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please take a look here or visit mindsways.com/SMS. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of psychological artistry.
You Can't Believe What You See, But You See What You Believe
It's easy to imagine that these illusions happen only on pieces of paper, on computer screens or during magic tricks. Easy, but wrong. They happen to you every day, in almost every activity you can think of. They're significant in all areas of our lives, affecting;
Our Identity (How you see yourself)
Our Aspirations (What you want to do in life)
Our Drives (Why you get out of bed in the morning)
Our Ambitions (Where you want to go)
Our Personality (Who you are)
And our very essence. Illusion will play a critical role in your life and in everyone else's. They determine how you act, behave and think. To learn more about illusions and how they are linked in your life, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/

Getting into the whole journal thing! I'm rediscovering my love for doodling and writing stuff down!
Taken on an amazing trip around the northern part of Iceland. This water is about 46°c and slowly cooling down. In some years this will therefore become perfect for bathing.
Just found this, it's from an old shot I did a while back, one of my favorite assignments I did last year in photo called 'Out of Place'. I felt like uploading something different that was taken almost a year ago.
Wow.
