so I’d like us to start with
to do a little game of imagination I
brought back a glass that despite the
misleading appearances is not a glass
but I would like you to imagine that
this worm is well and truly real you go
you focus on giving all
your concentration your imagination
focus on imagine that these
beautiful a real green that I hold the
malaysia it comes
like that I know it’s not easy
that’s why I brought back a
straw and actually when but the straw
in the green we can have the impression
that I can drink two glasses that you
are a little bit I might be
that we tape completely skeptical
No, but I feel like gentlemen
ladies that you still have more
of imagination that you think it because
that in this envelope
it just happened something
as if there was your imagination
that took shape is a little
difficult to go out because what he
is in it’s quite bulky in fact
there is like a glass filled with juice
of orange coming out of this envelope is
it’s me who applaud you if I
could thanks to yours especially and
Well, I’m happy because you
did not completely lose any
your imagination
Thursday lost because you remember
it was when we were little we had
the most imagination we invented
stories have created characters on
disguised himself as a clown etc
by the way that’s me when I was
small but what’s funny with this
photo in fact is that we have it all
China because we were all like that
we loved to dress up we loved doing
the fool etc
and in addition to me as we did not
the tv good we did not want it was a
little less telly my parents me
tell me it’s our TV so that
we’re fine like that because
I told stories movement
Snowy hovel telling jokes etc
and I continued to grow by being
a little bit this child is a day
while I was finally going to become
seriously I studied economics at the
sorbonne anyway and well there I have
discovered the best excuse in the world
for coty to have fun i discovered the
magic I could have fun myself I could
to amuse others and besides I could
make a living so I knew very well
what I was going to do next but more
I was doing more magic I saw
something in the look of my
audience we all had when we were
child I saw a simple look without
barriers and especially marveled and
that’s where I understood something
in fact it’s actually we’re all
big kids deep down we do not have
that me in the story she not that me
who was the TV today
it feels a bit like it’s
incompatible with the serious things
that society values as the
knowledge the logic know it then
that in fact it’s not at all
incompatible we can very well be
serious and keep this mindset
child with the qualities that go
with
we marvel and where we were
happy for no reason to question
the impossible too and we the magicians
it is precisely for these qualities
where we decided to stay
big kids everything we do
especially especially in the work
so obviously and thankfully we
is not the only ones to have understood that
are companies that have set up
in their premises for example rooms
of play as they did at google
that’s very well known but also
work environments that stimulate
imagination and our state of mind
child as they did at pixar
there are directors at pixar who
are working on offices that are
filled with toys why do they do that
because they know it’s vital in
does it’s more a bonus now
it’s vital to all of them needs to stimulate
our imagination to keep this state
of child spirit and having fun so
ladies gentlemen I propose you there
above we all have a little fun
you are all thinking about a map for
this second card h card games
plastics 1 2 peak lady of hearts what
you have them 50 of choices think all in
keep

of winne already and draw
on this on this notebook which you all have
a map in mind

a map in the lead call us how
eva i’ll let my talk
imagination maccabi by dad
and my childlike mind and I’m going
guess your card

time but in the end it’s great
impressive
we had bluffed at the end crave
tak tak tak and go you have your
card in mind for the first time I
want to return this notepad and if my
child’s mind if my imagination foolish
managed to capture what they had
in your brain then the map that I
just draw here it’s thanks to
which you thought if I have good
you try if I like too I do not want
good to stay up okay a two
three shots think of the ace of spades
no no it is not
but I have not finished my drawing in fact
I think it looks like a magician
that explodes in the middle of tedx but that’s
no big deal it’s because I do not have
finished my drawing you’ll see how
we make up for it we imagine it was
what the name of your caron card 5
it’s good because I had
drawn a pack of cards and I was
sure that 5 of caro was in this package
Cards
ah it impresses you sasa precedes
to sit down already it’s nice if
you too try it from your
imagination and your state of mind
of child you would realize
possibly only to a card that can
get out of this 20010 card pack
which card the 5 of 40
is there a map coming out
the 5 of the tiles thank you and lucky eva
you do not leave empty-handed because
I tac tac tac a small gift for
you and under a thunder
of applause
we can applaud very hard and see who
leave with a little sister
very strong coming very applause
still strong
hold 20 small souvenir thank you very much
thanks to you are not so bad at
often do they tell me how you got
how did you do it how did you do
make his illusions like sweet banon
the magicians we can not tell you
how we do but what we can do
to say that to create this kind
of illusions what we do what we do
call to a capacity we all had
when we were kids and this
capacity
it’s about being able to put everything back into
question
that’s why children are more
creative because they give themselves
authorization to themselves
question what is described as
obvious or possible by others
what we did from montgeon main
berck and children or little brothers
little sister in the verdun room
well in the convoy so you know too
although me that these little creatures
to them are the gift of posing
questions that surprise us that we
cut the grass under the foot and especially
especially that they make us think
it is sometimes that annoys us a little
little but that’s why they are more
creative and that’s why we can
to be inspired by it and that’s why we
magician we decided to continue to
do that questionnaire impossible for
create illusions to make you
dream
so some of you have
maybe tell me yeah but bout of
six months I do not do a magician
what can I do and if when
you accompany your little brother
your daughter at the park you too you
made a little butter in the evening for
see like this just to see what
you feel and if when you have to
organize a brainstorming at work
you ask your colleagues to come
disguised as if it was halloween
yeah actually more fun not having fun
it’s easy it’s free and more
it can allow you to change
vision on your world because that’s
that’s the key in the end we do not need
to be a magician to do it the goal
it’s about being able to change perspective
on your daily to see your
world again with children’s eyes
and what helped me a lot in this
process is to understand that in fact
downstairs have already been all surrounded by
magic we see more this magic for
we became banal to see a plane
taking off a sunset
gold for a child it stays
extraordinary he sees this magic sees
this beauty besides I love it
concept that says beauty is everywhere
but everyone can not see her
because children see it but
you know what
if children can see it if we
could have it when we were kids
then it is not too late
we can still do it but what he
must take a new look on
what we already have and realize
that everything can be a source of magic
by the way about that I have a little
something to show you
m
[Music]
Oh
[Music]
but
and
[Music]
no
[Music]
we
but it should all be fun
during this kind of magician
nothing else I dreamed of doing that
but it does not work every time
a few years ago I will finish this
lecture on his g I studied in
as a comedian there is a phrase of
stanislavski who has me enormously
touched scored deeply
he said you have to study children
because they are closer to nature
for those who do not know stanislavski
it is the great professor of tad who has
revolutionized the acting game of the 20th
century and this sentence is not too much
understood at first I thought ok but
the more I think about it the more I understood
what he wanted to tell me what should
tell us is that if we wanted to be
more creative
if you want to be more serene if we
will be more optimistic or if we want
to be happier simply
so we’re on we were bound
to be relearned
qualities that we already had when we
was a kid because we were older
close to our natural state and that its
qualities that we talked about throughout the
conference is part of nature
human is part of our true
nature is also this photo
I love because this child is in
post you this childhood and it was
me and this child it can still
being
yours so I’ll leave you on a
little confession is a wish the
confession is that my real name is
not bout six shock state per room
my real name is johannes my beauty
in the German dialect of my mother
it means little piece of small cabbage
boy and that’s how
traditionally we call the little
last of the family what was the
case for me for a long time but this
nickname I decided to keep it
expressly growing up as
magician as a speaker for
keep the mindset that goes with
for me and to be able to transmit it
to others so if I have a wish it is
my greatest care and I will leave you
with that today is that you
can find your child’s soul
to bring back the miracles of
your daily life
thank you very much for your attention
now it’s your turn to thank you
[Applause]
