THE EXPOSÉ

The Hypnotist’s
Secrets

Revealed by a Magician

You came for an explanation.
That's where things get interesting.

The premise begins with a rather tempting promise: let me explain what you're seeing.

Then the explanation starts doing something of its own.

A LITTLE HUMOUR. A SECOND LOOK.

What if the explanation
is part of the trick?

A magician takes the role of the exposer. He offers a knowing look, a plausible explanation, a reason to feel you've got the whole thing figured out.

But the explanations themselves become magic. Just as the room settles into understanding, something shifts. You may realize the demonstration has been happening while it was being described.

The smile comes with the realization.

That's the idea I'm exploring: a theatrical exposé about attention, influence and the pleasure of catching yourself in the act of believing.

WHAT CAUGHT YOUR CURIOSITY?

If the premise has caught your curiosity, I'd love to hear what caught it. A note is simply an expression of interest—not a reservation or a commitment.
