when I’m preforming around people I really do a mixture of both perspectives I feel like it strengthens a bond if it’s with friends and when it’s with others I feel like they feel more comfortable around you and trusts you a bit more

When I perform, I let the spectator share their perspective with me. As you just said I leave room for the imagination of people and let them explain the trick to themselves!

theirs prospective is more important as a magician is someone who already believes in magic !! he is there to make them believe and when somebody is caught in their own perspective that is the best way to make them believe what is exactly happening in the act ! like you did in this video sir u gave the spectator to peek into the card which is going according to their prospective and at the end it’s enough to make them believe the card in the photo is magically changed according to their selection !!

back to the channel after a long break still astonishes me with just as simple magic to me and having the totally sick experience to others. and to the question, I would usually use the patter where convince them by teaching a trick with ''sucker tricks'' and casually puting the real effect without saying anything about it my goto effect is levitating pencil and let them exprience what could possibly do that without the finger holding it . so i think sucker trick and boom fooled you are effective coz they leave you free rather they constructing theory on it . thank you for everything u taught

Hearing someone elses perspective is great. It means that your horizon becomes bigger, that you understand more of the world. You listen and hear what others think and what they have to say about certain subjects. It's quite fascinating to hear people's opinion on things. And sure, I may not always agree to their perspectives, but that's what's beautiful about it all, we're all different!

I love your videos, the tricks you teach are so simple yet amazing. Thank you so much for sharing!

Great effect, Jay. I feel like it's a bit of both. As an entertainer you have to know your crowd but at the same time let them get to know you as well. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos.

Theirs! The reason I love performing magic is entertaining people. At smaller shows I truly enjoy getting the crowd involved as much as possible. Make them part of the experience.

I enjoy both aspects. The magic allows me to show people how i see the world, and then through their reactions and explanations of how they think it is done, they reveal their perspective.

amazing video jay! really loved it I think that getting people to share their perspective can be really useful when used as a tool for misdirection, like asking people about something related to the trick or not... but in the end, the magician is the artist, and he's here to sell his own perspective.

I think it’s important to share yours while allowing them to share theirs depending on the situation. Thanks for the great content!

Love this trick! I think it's great when you can get others to share, especially if it's a small group. Thanks Jay!

Old boy magic. Although I am 70 yrs old, I only started magic a few months ago. I like to hear their perspective, it helps me understand their expectations. Great site, and thanks for the fast deliveries.

I quite enjoy hearing their perspective, it helps relax me a bit more to be able to flow into my next truck more comfortably.

I LOVE tricks where the audience thinks they’ve outsmarted me, thanks Jay! Can’t wait to practice this one

I think by inspiring spectators to share their perspective you are opening yourself for the question "and what do you think and this?" ... then you can share your perspective too ... so inspiring others to share is more important to me. Oh, and thank you Jay for this awesome trick!

I think I have always been most comfortable sharing my perspective of the magic with my audience, great video Jay, nice effect

I think a balance of mixing both their perspective and my perspective can be very powerful. I also try to feel each crowd out to play to them in a unique way. Awesome stuff as always, Jay.

I like to hear other’s perspectives. My perspective doesn’t matter when I’m doing magic. It’s all what they experience. I love seeing them get excited about what they are experience and just hope I can inspire them to be creative with what we their craft may be.

This week's magic tip really speaks to me. As a writer, I often see things in my head in very specific ways and that's how I write about them, but a reader might have their own ideas or opinions to fill in the spaces I've (purposefully or perhaps inadvertently) left, using what I've made to create something new. Thanks for sharing. Bang up job, sir.

Thanks bud.

It's always interesting finding out other people's perspectives on things, plus it gives audience members a good time to talk about something which always brings value to their experience.

I like to get them to share their perspective as well as also sharing mine. Love all your videos Mr. Sankey you teach me so much ! Thank you!

Awesome, I will be tuned in from here on out.

Other people to share theirs. It helps draw them in and feel a part of it. It's more personal/personable. Love the channel!

I always try to get them to open up and share their ideas. It's an amazing way to gather ideas on how people think and feel during a trick. It's also great natural misdirection!

It is a combination for me while I a preforming I share why I got into magic and try to get them to recall what they felt, remember, etc. about the joy they have experienced with magic. Even though I mostly do my tricks to adults I still enjoy when kids are willing to participate in the trick.

I absolutely love this piece of magic! You asked SUCH a great question here too and for me, I’m more interested in their perspective and I’d rather hear about them. To me, there is a great deal of magic in other people 🎼☕️

I love performing for 3-4 person and having them involve, I think it's making the magic more strong because it is not just a trick, it's become personnal for them and more memorable

I only discovered this channel yesterday. I love your videos!

This week I want to thank you jay, I never thought of asking their perspective I used to talk about me all the time now I ask them:)

Happy for you!

I love to share my talents with others because doing magic is an amazing experience for both the magician and spectator. I love to share with them how I've learned my magic through lots of practice. I try to inspire others to strive to acheive their goals in life. However, the spectator's reaction is by far my favorite part in a magic trick, as it's amazing to see how different our perspectives are and how we understand things.

fantastic! well sharing perspective to the people may help to create not only a trick, but a story and so a very magic effect with the illusion that sometimes magic really exist and happens

Just to share a happy moment and having you both smile

I like them to share their perspective with me. The more I see from their perspective the better I believe I can hone in my magic on my audience. I hope I win this bullet proof, i do my first street performance on Sept 1 in hawaii downtown.

Jay I wanted to comment on this effect alone - it is perfect for me! Working as a singer in restaurants, I also do a bit of table hopping during breaks etc. In the restaurant, so many people have a phone out while they're sitting, looking at messages, taking pictures of their food (???) so it is a perfect "segue" kind of effect. Thank you so much for this ingenious trick! And the thing that speaks more to me is their perspective of the moment, especially on the look of amazement at the final "reveal".

Sounds great Dave. Thanks for your kindness.

This is a crazzzy trick! Lots of components, but oh so cool! I'll have to practice the hell out of it, can't wait to try it out on some unsuspecting, know-it-all friends. As always, thanks Jay!!

Sometimes I do some magic to kids and sometimes I teach them one of the tricks. Their perspective of being fooled is amazing, but, when I teach them one trick, they have another interesting perspective. They start thinking about magic and want to learn more and think of it as a puzzle rather than a trick which I believe makes them smarter. When I do the same to adults, they don't seem impressed when I teach them the first trick, but then look even more puzzled when I perform more tricks and try to figure them out after their minds were boggled. It's always entertaining and interesting to me to hear and watch their perspectives. The idea of teaching a trick or two to audience just enhances their experience without ruining the effect of magic.

Magic is an art form. And like all arts, both the artist's perspective and that of his or her audience's are vital. Neither is more important than the other. Without both, it ceases to be art.

Hi jay! Very good video, not just for the strong trick but also for the amazing psychology behind it. Now, I'll try to answer the question of the week. What I try to do is actually to emphatize the difference between everyone particular point of view (mine and theirs ) BUT ALSO to point out how all of us share something! I find magic to be an amazing way to overcome discrimination, fear, and to encourage positive interaction between people. That's the reason why I often invite a few spectators to help me out and then I make them help each other.

Is more important when they share their true childlike self, I think. Great video. Thanks a lot!

When doing close up tricks I like when the tricks get people to open up to me about themselves I think it's most important that they enjoy the experience rather than walking away feeling upset over what they just saw

I like getting their perspective on things more. I feel that helps to develope my presentation.

When I'm showing close up magic, I actually start talking about my passion for magic itself, and ask people what they know about it. I give my thoughts on how I like seeing it performed, and ask what magicians they know about and what they did or didn't like about them, and I usually get really good reactions. One thing I especially like doing is when they say they know a card trick (that happens a lot), I let them show me. It's usually the same one or two tricks but it's fun seeing them from different people.

I like to see others perspectives because I feel it really involves the other person and always nice to get a fresh perspective!

Great question. And it's hard to not share your perspective as an artist as you suggest. But I agree, I think it's important to inspire and motivate the audience to share their perspective. Learning more about your audience allows you to connect with them in a way you can't when you're just sharing yourself. You might feel connected in that case, but they won't. And at the end of the day, it's all about connecting with your audience. Hands down one of the best tricks ever! Thank you for sharing!!

I like the spectators perspective. It magnetises their connection to the trick and to me.

I think that both our perspectives are important so that we get to know each other, so that there is a connection between me and the people for who i’am performing

Jay I think that the most important is to have rapport with your audience it strengthens the connection and trusts you more.

First of all jay ur seriously daam awsome🙄and ur ideas to make people crazy works every time correctly. Well when i perform close up tricks i greatly influence people to say abut their prespective. I want to relate the trick that i am performing with their perspectives to make them totally in and blow their minds .

I did this for my wife, she loved it. I am doing it tonight at my grand daughter's birthday party. I love doing sucker tricks, I do them all the time. Thanks for sharing, you are a magical treasure.

Awww..such a lovely comment!

Very slick -- I like that it includes a cell phone which has become an extension of ourselves and our personas -- really pulls the viewer into the illusion -- and love that it leaves them with a souvenir picture of the act with them front and center, not me. I think the most important thing is inspiring the audience to question their perspective and maybe raise their sights to a new or improved perspective. I want them to walk away thinking differently; not like me, but as an improved version of themselves.

I love to see them share their perspectives

I think it’s more important to inspire their own prospective!! After all, one of the magicians prime duties is to inspire!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

i believe its more important for them to share thier perspective. i love the reactions i get when i perform to others thats what made me love magic.

I guess that I like to see their perspective because when it's them sharing their thoughts .... It really helps you to establish what I call magic.... Magic of understanding.... That magic adds up to the beauty of the performance

i think involving your audience the more you can is super important. i agree with you.

I like to inspire other people to share their perspectives so I can learn about them and because it teaches me how to be a better magician.

Getting to know their perspective will be helpful to get them involved even more by using their shared experiences for tricks

Fantastic video Jay thanks so much

I try to put myself in my act. This is how people can see my perspective. I try to connect as much as possible with everybody. This is how I make people want to open up to me. They allow me to get a glimpse on theyre view of things. And from theire perspective I usually learn the most. They make fun jokes I can use in the future. They react more openly.For me its important that there is room for everyones perspective. Cause we are all here.

They should be inspired to share THEIR perspective with me. By doing so, I can get a good idea of what different people think and how they react which can be used in future performances for others.

I think it is and should be all about them. If we want to give them the room for imagination we need to understand their perspective. My goals is to create relationship even if it is a short time. Caring about and wanting to learn their perspective will create that rapport and give your audience the room to imagine with you. Thank you for all you do. Love your videos and teaching style.

So from a personal perspective I wish to entertain people, this is also part of my banter in between performances. Growing up I remember seeing magic as a kid. As adults we forget moments like that in our childhood. It's like a light that's dimmed, as a magician for every single person I want to touch that inner light for each person. If I can do that then as an artist, magician, person. I've done my absolute best. Through that I can get to people and have them open up and talk about themselves at the same time they see how different I can be from everyone they see throughout their day.

Most of the time I'm more interested in getting their insight. I've learned a lot about people that way and it helps to remember them as well as I want them to remember me.

I like to get their perspective. I want them to be immersed in the experience of our interaction. Having people share something of themselves gives them ownership in our shared experience.

I think its always their perspective over mine, I just want them to enjoy my trick and give me a thumbs up on my way. The way they experience my trick and their reaction are always a treat to me.

Making your participants feel special is what captivates them. Knowing them is more important.

It's more important to share theirs, because you make them feel comfortable and free so you make them happy

I find a mixture of both is best. I use a multitude of different stories for effects i do and base the story around something they connect to, so i always have a conversation with them and also keep that running in the trick as it makes it more impactful for them. On the flip side i have stories from my life i use if i cant think of a way of linking their stories to a trick. I use magic as a means to get to know people better and so their perspective, i hope that we come out of the trick knowing each other a bit better.

A few weeks ago, you asked which magic cliche do you hate the most, and I mentioned the "magician messes up" trope. A big part of the reason I hated it was because of the way the magician had to "act" like s/he messed up, which I felt like is usually too hard for most to believe (and even the best magicians don't really act convincingly enough to sell the idea), and I think many are privy to the idea that it wasn't actually messed up. But THIS "sucker" trick keeps that same "messed up" idea without overtly forcing or acting your way through it, and even for a guy like me who loves watching magic, you got me. I thought you were accidentally flashing, making me think you messed up, only to feed into that notion more subtlely to help your payoff. These are the types of tricks and presentations I wished I saw more of from magicians. Bravo.

Wow. While I appreciate your compliment, I esp enjoy the way you THINK. Thanks for sharing your brain with us.

Of all of the magic tutorial videos... your's tend to be the easiest to follow. Thx!

I think sharing your own unique perspective and ideas is the most important

Their perspective. It makes the magic much more real to them plus they start to care more

An audience comes to be entertained by the performer so I believe it starts out as the magician's perspective and then graduates toward the audience's perspective- performing according to reactions of the audience and the "flow."

For me knowing their perspective is what i am keen on and balance my way out with my uniqueness as we all know that no 2 magicians are same.

what i find more important is to inspire the audience or group i am performing for because if i haven't given them a sense of joy and happiness or leave them with an impression of amazement then i feel like i have failed

I definitely think it more important for them to share their perspective because i use basic magic tricks to "break the ice" and meet new people so i like getting to know em more obviously :D

i am around 50/50 on this question. i love telling a story when doing a trick but also getting them to tell something personal is a great way to lead up to a big fannaley

It's always about the other person because that makes them more interested in you and they will interact with you better 🙂🙂

i think its more important to me about their perspective...sometimes when its about a moral or good teaching then i share my perspective but the most is their thats whats help us a magician to grow inspire his magic

that was an amazing trick. i was so fooled i was thinking does jay not realised he flashed the card? great work. oh and i preferer to have their perspective as people never react to tricks how you expect them to.

Really amazed me..thank you very much

That’s a really good question. I think a mix of both is best. I try to have my own style and to carry my way of looking at magic in every performances and in the same time the audience brings along their way to see what I do and that is what makes magic so unique and beautiful. My performances aren’t so good because of the tricks I do or the skills I have. It is the conversation and the work together from me and the audience.

I think that that by letting them share their perspective allows for you to connect me with them and it makes for a more personal experience in their mind.

I believe their perspective is more important because it gets them invested. Getting peoples thoughts and emotions into a performance makes it more than just a magic "trick". For some people, their perspective can make an effect feel like pure magic.

I always love to hear their perspective

To allow the audience or spectators to feel and express their reallity to see them having fun and enjoying the moment.

Definitely theirs, the most amazing thing about magic is that they see the same magic trick in different ways

I think both are equally important. If you share your perspective it makes your audience trust you. It makes them feel safer. Once they reveal something from themselves the magic becomes personal. They feel more included. It is important however that we appreciate that they shared something with us. We need to be interested in what they say.

I find that i tend to share myself, but I do have so effects that inspire them to share too.

I believe it is most important to get the audiences perspective.. include them in the performance. It really helps with the immersion factor.

Since I do most of my close up magic for people I know, I prefer sharing my own perspective to help them know more about me. Also, your magic tip was really good this week. I have experience with using your rubber band trick. I thought it would get a bigger reaction, but after the performance everyone was asking how I did the rubber band one in the opening. I didn’t expect that reaction, but it was very cool!

I think both are important but it starts with your own perspective. When you have an unique perspective about something and you show it to the spectators, they'll be having an unique perspective about what you do aswell. Also, very nice use of the top change and an ordinary phone. You never fail to baffle me with your creativity. Thanks for my weekly dose of content! Xp

By the way please keep it up Jay I love your stuff

I love to talk with my audience and connect with them when performing. I like to act like we are on the journey together. I feel like they also feel that the performances is better when they are more connected and in the act as opposed to just an audience member.

When performing I always love to hear about others stories and experiences and thats also how I let the magic flow. I take others experiences and pick an effect that I could closely match thier story. For more of an unique performance.

I would like to inspire them to share theirs. The reason is that their perspective can help me grow and expand mine. It can help me widen my point of view towards how spectators could react to my magic and that would help me improve and adjust my presentation.

Their opinion is more important, because it is a really good way to start a conversation after a trick or even in a trick. So i think it is more important.

A mixture of both, its great when both know each other's perspectives

I think inspiring people to share their unique perspectives is more important as it not only helps you get better as a performer( you might come across something valuable which never occurred to you) but most importantly, it allows them to be a part of something amazing! To inspire people is the purpose of a magician! Right?

I really enjoy performing magic for just one person, so if I’m ever performing to just one spectator I’ll put more of an emphasis on their perspective. When I’m performing with a group though, it’s definitely more important to me to focus on how the group perceives the magic. Makes it a lot easier to adapt to my surroundings and make any changes I need to either my presentation or my handling of the effect.
