I'm pulling on my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for a drive to work.

Okay, so today, I got asked a question a while ago that really been percolating around my head.

So I thought I would do a podcast on it because I thought it was an interesting topic.

So I just celebrated last year my 30th anniversary working on magic.

So I've been now doing magic design for over 30 years. So the question was, how has my design

changed over time? And anyway, it was an interesting question. Someone on my blog asked me.

It's the kind of thing that oftentimes in my blog, I get asked a question that's way too

complex to actually answer on the blog.

It really is like a thinker, right?

And so it's just, I've been thinking about it, and I decided I'm going to do a podcast

on it because I think the topic is so interesting and so there's just so much to say that it's hard to write an answer in any believable

a lot of time. But if I have 30 minutes to talk about it, I thought I could give an answer.

So one of the interesting questions is sort of how have I evolved as a designer?

And the answer is I've evolved a lot.

Like one of the things about magic, I talk all the time about the iterative process, right?

You make something, you get feedback on it, you change it based on the feedback, and you continue

that loop.

That's the iterative process.

We do that to make magic sets, but also you can think of magic as a game is sort of an iterative process. Like, we make a magic

set, we get feedback, we take that feedback into our next magic set. And so we are constantly evolving.

But not only are we in, not only is the iterative process true for game design itself, I as a designer

am going through iterative process, meaning I do things, I get feedback about what I do, I change
