Finding inspiration for you magic can be difficult sometime, at least it is for me time to time. When working on my show and creating routines for my show or reworking my show I sometimes can’t find the right inspiration for what I want to do. For me, like creativity, inspiration can’t be forced it has to occur naturally or things don’t work out well or seem too contrived. What I do to find inspiration for my magic is not to even think about it. This is why relaxing and taking time to enjoy things not related to magic are good. I find for me when I do things like take trips, go sightseeing, watch movies, read books, inspiration for a new magic routine, or effect will just pop into my head. At this time I try not to act on it right away, but I do try to write it down, because I if I don’t I will forget it. The reason I believe this works for me is that when I relax my brain and do something not related to magic, my sub-conscious is working and finds some connections to magic naturally that can’t be forced by my conscious mind. So the point of this post is try to relax and find inspiration for your magic naturally, don’t try to force it and worry only about magic that will work for you and your show. Good luck!
