I Thought I Was a Fraud… Even on a Hollywood Set

Have you ever felt like a complete fraud before a magic gig? Welcome to our first Sunday Session. Today, we aren't doing card tricks or product reviews. We are tackling the biggest secret in the magic community: Magician Imposter Syndrome and performance anxiety.

Years ago, I was standing on the set of a major Hollywood movie, surrounded by the best magicians and consultants in the world. And despite putting in the work and being hired to be there, I had one overwhelming thought: "I don't belong here. I am a complete fake."

(If you are curious about the movie I worked on in this story, you can check out my IMDb credits here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9931104/)

If you have ever stood outside a gig, gripping your close-up case, terrified that tonight is the night they figure out you aren't actually that good... you are not alone.

In Today's Sunday Session, we cover:
• Breaking down Imposter Syndrome for working magicians.
• How practicing magic in isolation creates a toxic comparison trap.
• The absolute truth about the magic highlight reels you see on Instagram.
• How to overcome performance anxiety and own your gig.

Take a breath. You earned your seat at the table. Let's talk shop. ♠️
