I was invited to speak at Columbus’s Pecha Kucha event on August 11th. If you’re not familiar with Pecha Kucha, here’s a brief description from their own website:
PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.
It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chat”, it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It’s a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.
I decided to speak about the conception of a magic trick. How does an original magic routine begin and develop into a commercial piece of magical performance art? I told an audience of hundreds at the event in 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Below you’ll find my presentation!
