If you can feel that something is going to be special, there can be no possibility for the contrary.
This phrase is a truth I have lived for years, but what am I referring to?
As a creative person, as I work, I must never proceed onward unless I can honestly say to myself, “this is amazing.” Otherwise, I am shortchanging my audience by giving them something that is not inspired by life events. Magic is, after all, very much theatre and theatre is inspired by everyday life.
I have developed a knack for predicting how a routine or piece of media will be received by people. My experience has been that however amazing your work is multiply that amazement by two as people may not be familiar with your craft or yourself and that will be the reaction as part of your contemporaries.
In brief, never work unless you have a feeling that the product is going to be special. Your work needs to reach its full potential.
