hello okay

and if we stress a little eh you know

when we are on our side so yes

actually my job

these magicians but I have another

passion in life since well

long time

I still have a passion for

ideas and the way we could

to send ideas to

people because I have a belief it’s

that it’s the ideas that make you grow

men are trying men who

afterwards make the world grow and so the

question I always asked myself this is

how could we address the

better possible ideas for them

pass for them to be passed on and

it’s funny because it’s a bit

the idea of ​​what we are here to do

here today is what I’m going to you

to tell is my journey where

commits gmail and his two passions then

it’s not endowments so my two

passions so the magic on the one hand and

to pass ideas on the other hand

it’s not that easy to do

pass ideas when you think about it

especially in the time and in the

world in which we live

at the time of the SMS tweets

notifications and all those things

that saturates our attention

so if we look a little at the focus and

how does our attention

our ability to tension has

considerably dropped since

ten years ago ten years ago the cycle

of attention of a person of an adult

normal it was 12 minutes

today these five minutes so that’s

still a lot of me is still

worse on internet users

someone like you, I’m trying

to use internet our threshold

of attention our attention cycle these

eight seconds for a small comparative

a one goldfish these nine seconds

there is still a job

so that to say that it’s not so

easy as that date is to focus

people’s attention and that’s when

same principal when we want to do

pass the ideas have the attention of

His public

and that helped me to understand

how it worked it’s my

first job that is called in

corporate english close up hot magic

which gives in French

magician for business loan is

for that in general it is said that in

English is much better

it corresponds to what grosso modo on

is there to animate evenings

business so we come in a

room usually restaurant where he

there are plenty of people who are there they are

there to discuss a lot of things from

business there are even some who are

obliged to be lake do not really have

desire

the tables are saturated with

plates of the dishes of the plants on the

shelves of lots of things and in

this atmosphere there we come and we

has to sit at the table and

groups in groups and do magic

to people by becoming aware of a two

a second thing is that no

nobody knows about a magician

will come to see them which you imagine that

when we learn to get by in these

conditions there necessarily by the

then we have some control over

people’s attention and I got

always asked the question what is that

it works pretty well

How come it works and

surprisingly for ten minutes one to

people’s attention to a table and

we watch they are attentive

why I discovered something

quite simple actually is that the

magic its not asking to be an audience

passive

it requires to be an active audience

why active because our brain

must determine if what we see is

of magic or no example have so

it’s interesting to see is that the

magic tends to focus

people’s attention there is something else

who surprised me and discovered

and that may be because I have

like you an engineer training

so there are many and I believe

in the room who have one who are in

train or in training

I will immediately lift a veil on

something very hard

fulfillment all your years

roughly we will teach you a

only thing is in the chaos has

determined models and comes to

extract the model l use elsewhere

here is to be all graduates and so

in this chaos that were the

klose ap performance

I discovered something quite

interesting is that surprisingly the

spectators who attend a tour of

magic memories etc

very moment comes all that they are

tells the question I asked myself

that’s why so I searched and I

believe that it’s all linked

intrinsically to emotions and when

we are studying a little bit of what is

when we look at all the studies that

were made about emotions

we realize one thing is that

the first thing emotion and memory

it works very very well together

the second thing is that memory

better set the experiences that are

related to emotions that’s a

good thing

the memory fixes even better the

positive experiences

sorry the experiences that has

positive emotions

so that’s fine the magic is in

general a positive emotion the thing

next is that when we do not live

experience with a positive emotion

we better remember the details that too

it’s very interesting

maybe that’s why people

look at this is the last thing

is that whatever the message

whether they are important or not what

account this is not the importance of

message is uniqueness and power

emotion

so basically to sum up the magic that

allows to focus the attention of

people it creates positive emotions

that can memorize the loop

was almost locked in my path

to share ideas I have

added one last people love

the stories

people love the metaphors there they

tells something and it’s good

because in general the magic tells

something and today my job

it’s pretty simple it’s companies

who come to see me and who have a

message to pass or something

or a product or service explained

and we wonder how is this

that we can get the message across

of magic then I realize that

all that has theoretical I give you

an even more theoretical example for

make you happy

imagine you are the for example the

developer of a technology that

would be called rfid and you hold that’s

not bad it’s pretty secure sakho it’s

pretty secure all that I’d like

put in all the cards

blue that exist for people to

can pay directly with the

contactless white cards

and then you want to explain that a bit

to bankers and bankers

not understand very well because they

you answer yes but we can already

pay with a blue card what did it

not really meaningful

that would add more to put the

contactless technology in my map

blue does what it takes them to do

to understand is that technology without

contact it allows to give the illusion

his share is given to sensation we have

finally not a blue card on oneself

but we have a ticket and the ticket

the blue card is exactly the same

thing

and once we show that a banker

he understands and dia ba yes actually

and it’s much clearer

there are other customers who come to us

see there are laboratories that we

asks to explain to doctors that

for example shingles is a virus

that we have already in ourselves caught a

little all and chicken pox and all these

virus then when he when we

meeting act a little later they

come on us and a pain that

is very very violent

hence the benefit of having a vaccine is

to be able to heal that or for example it

some time ago I was contacted

by a box that wanted that

I explain that finally tell you

some time ago an ipad finally

it was the future of reading and

newspaper ie that instead

to have all these newspapers is at home

we could find the comfort of a

newspaper inside just in

looking at his ipad finally have that

give it huh c

[Applause]

so today when one when one has me

approached for this stage

I asked the first question

comes to me in general it’s my y

come all these people there but there are

what as a message to pass

why is it what interest

why they come

I was told drool they come as

that to see a conference would say ok

okay there is a second thing for

which they come to say yeah ok they

come for a lecture they

also come to meet people

and discuss topics around

lectures and honestly who got

raised the hand that recognizes itself there

in see a conference exchange

on topics I do not see you go

raise your hand if you recognize there

in

ok you are all in the loire

no one raises their hand it’s great

but whether or not that’s ok ouais

you raise your hand so ok and that’s

amazing because looking at a conf

agree to have new ideas ok

but also share around that I

have you observed a bit in your

way of arriving and there are

phobic social among you no because

than how you are

arrived I believed that because when

you arrived then I saw and a

certain that they arrived alone and

then one of the others who arrived in

group

it was the least that the least

brave and those who arrived in

group stayed about

the same groups

by the way they went to sit down

side by side on the seats and those

who arrived alone spent their

time to scrutinize on their phone b

the friends who arrive is good they are

there and joined the group of friends who

had arrived and it’s amazing because

that I have not seen so much to mix

of two links that was done and that’s

true we all had a tendency to

avoid links and did not dare

directly go to each other and that’s

weird it played you talked about it

by the way to tell you about yourself

show the importance of going to

other

This is a small box and

inside this box I

something that will definitely

just now make you want

to see others but

waiting i’m going to take a big

risk

I’m going to throw that ball into the

room will meet at the meeting

from a stranger

is it possible to have a little

of light in the room

and 49 but a figure that has a

meaning for you tell me say the 12th

diane but I want you to take

also a risk

you pass the microphone to someone you

do not know a stranger we

let’s get to know hockey in

the more behind you hello me it’s

rude

studies here no animals psg is studying

opposite is not far and apolline a

number between 1.49 any 50

so just for africa for those who

do not know actually here it’s school

of engineers in front is the school of

trade

I have great confidence in the school of

trade so to pauline children and 49

49 cents to ok so get us quickly on

micro to pauline to someone you do not

do not know and we’ll do the

knowledge of a new unknown

hello to inflate axel axel know

less quickly the microphone to someone too

that you still do not know that you

do not know you’re next

risks

22 it works quite isabelle

micro even further from you there it’s

very very concentrated here but good

wait for you nils and individuals

last I’m going to ask you just

something between 1 and 10 I was told

that for you it was necessary something

very easy I’m in school

of engineers that’s why it will be the

7 the set to which fantastic

so we have the 12th the 49th the 28th the 5th

and the 7 nils you have the microphone yes I you

let him keep me on

scene and we can applaud nils

[Applause]

keep the microphone nil it’s important that

will it come then nice

why did you accompany me on stage

well here it’s because everything at

the time you remember from the beginning

I talked about a little box and he

find that in this little box

something very special

I’ll go fingertips there to

what’s called a lottery ticket and the

lotto ticket I want to leave you the

take these are six numbers between 1 and

49 so nil what am I going to ask of

do it well there are six numbers that’s

super it’s a real ticket lotto you

can we confirm that this goal is

a real if late meetings we do not know

not yet nils that I’m going to ask of

to do is to read to me aloud a

parent looking at people who are of this

side there you’ll say oh my god after

all the numbers I played what

is the first number I played

nils the soil 5.66 is the game yes I

do not know what a slash it wants

to say that this is the first line of play

there is one that I do not count

the los angeles bag

then the 12th the 12th games then the 22nd

the 22 28

the 28

the 49 wait wait wait

usually when I have five numbers

the people in the room are like

crazy

a bit like you what and so nil of a

theatrical way the last issue

it’s number 7 I leave you the

ticket in memory maybe stupid

that he’s winning why I’m you

shows that why is chance

seems so mild six people

did not know each other six unknowns

among you who may think that

this is the art of the magnet magician the

chance is to come up with a result

such as this one

I would say that chance is the chance

it is not something that happens is

something we have around us

something concrete and some

people call it chance

others learn that the

opportunities I will call that the

meetings because basically what

account in life these are the

encounters because only

encounters and chances can we

lead to results we can not

hope and whatever the

successes you were looking for in life

be the money the beauty the power or

just happiness all that you do not

succeed is not alone you will not succeed

only with others with the

meetings that you will then make

others who is your family and

your friends his shutters collaborators it’s

the teams that will have around you and

it is with them that you will build

something exceptional and it’s

also with them that you will share the

happiness of your successes

so if I want to finish on one

thing it does not wait was leaving

today to meet others

break the rules break the codes

go now thank you to you

[Applause]
