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

Okay. So today's topic, so this October, I will celebrate my 22nd year of working on magic.

So one of the common questions I get is, how did you do the same thing for 22 years? Aren't you bored?

Don't you get bored of doing the same thing?

And I don't.

So I'm going to share with you today how I keep things interesting.

How is it that I keep doing the same job year after year after year and still enjoying it and not being bored?

So I'm going to talk about sort of some of the techniques I use to keep things interesting.

Okay. First up, I've talked about this, but this is something I'll go a little more detail, is I like starting every set from a different vantage point.

And what that means is, so the brain is interesting, one of the things that I've been enjoying to understand

creative thought is to study a little bit how the brain works. And I mean, I talk about the,

I talk about some, but it's just an important point to make here, which is your brain is not

particularly designed to be creative. Your brain is designed to be functional, that your brain is

trying to like, okay, how can I get things done the most efficient way I can? And essentially,

a way it does it is there's a muscle memory, if you will, or sort of

brain memory, if you will, that you sort of do something and your brain remembers how you

did it. Oh, yeah, yeah, I know how to do that. And so it allows you to auto pilot a lot more.

It allows you to sort of like, okay, I got it. I know how you did it. Yeah, I'll do that again. And so when you do

something you've done before, your brain sort of goes into like, oh yeah, yeah, I got this.

So you tend to use the same neural pathways that the brain, without any outside interference,

the brain will kind of do it the way you did it before. Now most of the time, that's great.

Most of the time you want to, you know, I don't want to have to reimagine how to tie my shoes. I want
