Hi,
The Sleight of Mind Set Workshop is a one day, intimate learning experience where we will guide you through a number of principles. You'll learn the Principles of Mind Magic, the Framework of Mind Magic; we'll Explore Why and How Illusions Work, look at the role of MMI's (Multiple Moments of Interest, Interaction & Insight) and Thinking Fallacies. Most importantly though, you will Learn And Be Given a Number of Easy and Practical Tricks (with supporting materials) that you can take away with you and start performing and adding to your delivery the next day.
We wanted to make sure you'd get the best out of the one day experience, so we've packed months of one-to-one training sessions and years of our own experience into the day. The themes of the day are Innovation & Creativity, Practically Applied Advantage, Emotional Engagement, Show, Not Tell and the importance of Mystery, Magic and Surprise. For more information on the day, please see mindsways.com/SMS/ and for a brochure of what the day is about, please look at mindsways.com/SMS/#Brochure
TAPPING INTO POPULARITY
On the day we talk about the enduring allure and popularity that mystery, the paranormal and Mind Magic has. Magic is never far out of the popular sphere with Derren Brown filling theatres and drawing large TV audiences. Part of the popularity is down to the fact that it "May just be real". This is also shown by the new blockbuster film, Now You See Me.
This new film is based on the premise of what if the impossible was real. Starring Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg and Isla Fisher, the film shows the hold that magic has over our imagination. It also gives us an insight into how popular magic is, and a fascinating glimpse into what it would be like to have real powers. To see more about the film, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/#NowYouSeeMe.
Today, to stand out we need the personal touch and the sleight of mind set workshop is about tapping into this popularity of mind magic and adding value through your delivery and the personal touch.
Our aim is to make day informative, entertaining and practical for you. People have attended for many reasons including:
Curiosity (just how was that done)
Learning something new
Interest in how the mind works
Adding variety to enliven their presentations
New and different approaches
Something to impress others with
An increased reputation
A channel for their passion and fascination
Wider perspectives and experiences
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.
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. For more on this, please go to mindsways.com/SMS/
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/
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/
WHAT IS PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY?
Psychological Artistry is the blending of the science of how we think, and the combination 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)
to create a method for successful communication. Therefore, Psychological Artistry is where science and art meet Mind Magic.

here's a new greeting card i designed today. i've had the idea for a long time and wanted to use an ACTUAL horse's ass, but i think my plastic horse's bottom looks even better. i'm not sure if i like the font and placement of the words so i might tinker with it a bit more before it's 100% ready and available for purchase in my etsy shop.
she was hangin' out with no collar by the hospital and we took her to a no kill shelter. Turns out she was in heat too. Very affectionate.
This boy was part of a wedding party at Cox Arboretum. He was sitting on that rock, just thinking... I love how the black and white gave it a contemplative feel... :)
I'm still thinking that this building in the new shopping center being built on Pooler Parkway will be some kind of quick-service restaurant. When I saw this building last weekend, I noticed that the cinderblocks for the exterior walls were built up on three sides of this building, and the exterior brickwork was in progress. I also noticed that the framing and decking for the roof had also been added to the building.
When we remodeled the ad agency, we decided there was a need for a concepting space so we created the fishbowl. This is where we throw our creative sharks into the literal creative tank where green light thinking goes.
18/52 MOODY theme. Thought my son looked rather pensive here (of course I had to spy to get this shot!)

I have been spending a lot more time - too much time, really - in my room this past month than I ever have before. I either sit or lie down while I play some "Easy Listening" music on my iTunes playlist, or I fade into nothingness with silence and the hushed whooshing of my ceiling fan. Occasionally, I will pick up my guitar and play something. But it's always the same song, and the same song gets old...
I think of only one thing when I am in this room, and it's the one thing that makes my stomach turn and my eyes water and my body ache... My thoughts make me shudder, and yet - I am only but still. And I only wish that time would freeze with me so that I would not have to deal with these other things such as school, homework, and chores. My attention span for those three things has cut more than half because of you.
I don't want to get up; I miss you.
As soon as I saw Play Date Cafe's wonderful colour challenge, I knew what I wanted to do. I stamped and coloured the HA Hydrangea with Distress inks and mounted it on a dark purple card. I spirtzed the whole piece with pearlised water, I added the strip of lime green Bazzil and ribbon and the sentiment.
