  • Why Our Magic?

    Why Our Magic?

    Why magic? Why our magic? What is it about our magic that makes it so unique, powerful, and engaging?

    There are so many reasons why we love our magic. In the next few paragraphs, we will look at just some of them.

    Top of our list is that it provides us with a way of entertaining, engaging, and connecting with people. There is nothing better than seeing people enjoy what we do and hearing their laughter. Unique to magic is the sense of mystery and astonishment that we can add to that list. It is about creating a deeply satisfying feeling of delight. And, just like all enterprises, that feeling of delight is our ultimate goal.

    Our magic business is, in one respect, exactly like every other enterprise: We are in the business of understanding people and anticipating their wants, needs, desires, and perceptions.

    We use this understanding to entertain, engage, and to create enjoyment, delight, and satisfaction. That is why magic works as entertainment, but it also works to help you gain insights into how people think.

    Our aim is always to move ourselves and our artform forward. Our performances, our material, our approach, our art, our magic.

    This means that we are always searching for new ways of travelling into the realms of imagination, creativity, and amazement. For us, magic illustrates and illuminates:

    • The power of perception
    • Different ways of thinking
    • Thinking out of the box
    • Breaking down perceptual barriers
    • Bringing out playfulness in all of us

    Our magic is all about disrupting conventional thought and stimulating your imagination. As Einstein once said; “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” You can take the essence of our art and use it in energising, revitalising, and stimulating creativity across all endeavours in all other fields. 

    Our belief is that imagination is our greatest force: a force that can power boundless success in your life, and a magical force that stimulates boundless imagination.

    As magicians, the imagination we put into our magic can be an invaluable source to your business.

  • Never Not Very Extraordinary

    Never Not Very Extraordinary

    So much of our everyday lives are spent doing the ordinary: taking out the rubbish, cleaning our desks, organising our schedules, listening to relatives tell the same old boring stories, doing the washing up, catching up on new Netflix shows, trying not to get depressed by watching the news.⁠

    But then, every so often, we get to put on something extraordinary like the Psychological Artistry Magic show.

    And for an hour or so, we get to embody a pair of characters who are, quite literally, magical.

    Embodying magical people makes your world feel never not very extraordinary!

    Being able to embody these mystical, magical (and quite frankly, utterly stupid) characters, is a wild privilege. It’s a fantasy that a very slim proportion of the population gets to endure and enjoy.

    Embodying magical people like this makes your whole world feel never not very extraordinary!

    Motivation

    We get to live in these people’s strange and extraordinary world. Their loopy world, their sad world, their incredible world.

    This world lets us read people’s minds, exist in a plain where terrible puns are cartoonishly real, where we can predict and influence the future, where we can achieve the extraordinary, and most importantly, where magic itself is absolutely real.⁠

    But this is only half of the picture: if there’s one thing we’ve learned from the terrible and tragic events of the last 2 years, it’s that our once ordinary lives could do with a little more appreciation of the extraordinary moments.

    The World Is A Magical Place

    The things we used to consider boring, plain and mundane – going on buses, sitting in cafes, walking around city centres, running into our neighbours, making idle chit chat, shaking hands, hugging our loved ones – these are the things we missed most during the darkest days of the Coronavirus Pandemic.

    The pandemic taught us that the moments we once considered ordinary are, in fact, extra ordinary.⁠

    Reaching a balance between our ordinary, down to earth existence and the extraordinary, fantastical, magical and mystical versions of ourselves has shown us that these little, ordinary moments are what make our lives truly magical.

    We like to finish most of our performances with the following quote: “The world is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”

    From the devastating impact on our business, to tremendous mental and physical health problems, to the slow road of recovery from COVID itself, and the strange, unknowable effect this will have on our future generations, the last few years has left us with one indelible lesson: hold on tight to what you thought was the once plain and every day, and you’ll see these moments anew; as Never Not Very Extraordinary. ⁠
