    Excerpts from this Conversation with Tim David:

    The thing that magicians really focus on is the other person's perspective.

    And if you think about it, a magician is going to practice for hours in front of a mirror so that we can see what you see, we're going to video record ourselves, we're going to hire coaches to sit in different seats of the theatre, so that we know exactly what each audience member is experiencing.

    In fact, there's a phrase that magicians tell each other all the time when they're critiquing each other. And the phrase is, watch your angles.

    -----

    One of my speaking coaches said to me, I need you to pretend that half of your audience is blind, and half of your audience is deaf. That way you can cater your audio and you can cater your visual messages and treat each one independently.

    -----

    The seven words are yes, but if because, help, thanks, and a person's name, and a person's name.
