The Edge – Creating Real Magic in the Modern Age With Aaron Alexander

We asked our members who they wanted to learn more from, and one answer was overwhelming: Aaron Alexander. Aaron Alexander may well be the most sought after author in the mystery art community. His work has been featured in some of the top acts in the world by mentalists, magicians, hypnotists, as well as other artists and performers. After coming out with “Pygmalion Effects: Reality as an Art” years ago and causing an earthquake for his approach to “real magic“, he disappeared. During this time, he kept working on his past effects, and creating new ones. We are excited to announce that over the past months we have been working with Aaron to put the best parts of his new and old work together into a single course. We are kickstarting this project with early-bird signups from those members who are especially excited to get in on this material. Too often we as performers are fed the idea that we need to buy the next technique, prop, trick, effect, book, to be any good. We spend a lot of money, time and energy following the next shiny object, but we are also constantly blinded by the real source of “real magic”: the human mind and interaction. Aaron is known to create effects that use no props but the human mind and body, and seem to defy any possible logic. At the root of them all lies his mindset in creating shared moments of wonder with his participants. The focus will not be on making you dependent on us for effects though, but to teach you the ideas and principles that allow to build your own and adapt them to whatever art you practice. You will acquire a new mindset and new tools, allowing you to evolve your current art to unthinkable levels. You will be showing something that people recognize as real and unfakable. Is this only for magicians/hypnotists/mentalists? No, this course will be of immense benefit for anybody who wants to create for others or for themselves the joy of experiencing a sense of the magical, like when we were kids. Usually a performance setting is the perfect scenario where you can apply this principles for obvious reasons, but ideally you can (and you should) use these principles with your everyday interactions. Everybody that has to relate in a deep and meaningful with somebody else will benefit immensely from these principles. In fact, some of the most interest in Aaron’s past work was from teachers and therapists. Will it suit my style of performing? Of course. Being this a “naked” method, you can dress it as you like.
