331 - Performing to Teach: The Power of Wonder and Magic with Dr Ben Levy


Listen Later

Bitten by the magic bug at a bar mitzvah when he was 12-years old, and led on a lifelong journey from teacher, to coach, to psychologist and magician, is Dr Ben Levy. Now the founder of Magic Lessons, he’s on a mission to make learning feel exactly that – magical!

Blending magic and psychology, Ben teaches a five-ingredient secret formula for high achievement in the classroom and the boardroom, all in 20 minutes! A magic trick that shows participants that with a little bit of belief, and a momentary relinquishing of control, they too can achieve brilliant, unexpected things.

Ben invites us into his magic circle, as he shares his special ABC ME framework, and why surprise, awe, and play really do work wonders for deep learning.

Find out about:

  • How magic can facilitate curiosity, insight, deep learning, and skills acquisition
  • The two-way exchange of magic performances, from projection to introjection
  • The five-part ABC ME (Ability, Belief, Clarity, Motivation, Environment) framework
  • How to understand and manage responses, when magic takes away participant control
