Christian is Made for Magic (p2)

In the first part Christian talked about his passion, the Magician’s code, and a little about learning the craft.
But I had more questions, like:
- How does a magician find a gig?
- When do you decide to turn pro?
- And why are people so receptive to magic?

Plus, at the end of the show, Christian will actually perform some podcast magic on me, it’s a great Made For This first!

For so many of us, that’s the difficulty, especially when transitioning through graduation, or ending a year of school, or switching jobs, or changing relationships - it’s in figuring out how to focus in on one thing you’re passionate about, while also doing all the other things in life that just need to get done to survive.

Christian is on this journey, continuing to discover and do what he’s made for, he keeps improving his craft, and he keeps trying to build this thing up into a business.

I just hope you do the same. Whatever it is that you’re sitting on this week, the dream, the goal, the idea…move on it. I bet people will be a lot more receptive to it than you think they will.

The conclusion of my conversation with the Magician, Christian Au

This is part two of a conversation started earlier this week with a Magician and full-time University student, Christian Au. 

In the first part Christian talked about his passion, the Magician’s code, and a little about learning the craft. 

But I had more questions, like, 

How does a magician find a gig?

When do you decide to turn pro?

And why are people so receptive to magic?

Plus, at the end of the show, Christian will actually perform some podcast magic on me, it’s a great Made For This first!
