A new kind of magic show

For quite some time The Loko Magic Co. has been planning to build a different kind of magic show on You Tube. We started with a couple of videos outlining what the core foundation of what we want to do. Which is to inspire and motivate people while entertaining them using magic. I feel like the show that we created "The Loko Magic Show" is not were we want it to be and has not meet with the reaction we had hoped. Therefore we are going to be making some changes to adjust to our goals
as the saying goes:


                               "If the plan doesn't work change the plan but never the goal"
At The Loko Magic Co. we are looking to entertain people but at the same time we want to talk to you about self improvement and motivation. We truly care about helping others reach their dreams.
We want you the spectator to experience the impossible for yourself. When I started doing magic I truly felt this sense of purpose when I would perform, so I would like to help people seek their passions, help them figure out what really makes them happy.

What we have planed for ''The Loko Magic Show" first is to split the magic from the motivational speech that it might contain. This means that we are going to have in essence two different shows, which will  make the videos shorter and more enjoyable to be watched. So if would just like to see some magic you could do that without having to watch the motivational part and vise versa. We still want to do both things but splitting it will be more efficient to produce and to be watched.

Another change we are looking to make is to give the power to the spectators. At the beginning magic on TV and video in general was a lot about the magician, then at some point the cameras turned towards the reaction of  the spectators and that became of more importance because the viewer could relate better to what was going on. Unfortunately many TV magicians have broken the trust of the viewers by using actors to react to their magic and using methods used by movies which at that point we could argue is no longer magic. Even though they might say there is no actors and that there are no camera cuts, most people can see thru this and realize that these so called magicians are not really performing magic for everyday normal people like you. its just an elaborate show pretending to pass as reality.

So what we want to do with "The Loko Magic Show'' is create a show in which the spectator  controls the camera, it will be POV magic. You will not see what the magician or some director wants you to see, but you will see in essence  thru the eyes of a spectator who is experiencing the magic first hand. It will immerse the viewer to see exactly what he or she would see if they were there. We want to bring a much more pure brand of magic. Selling magic on TV and video is hard because many people manipulate the video to seem so much more impossible and it just kills the fact that the reason magic is so amazing is that it happens right in front of you without the use of camera tricks. We don't really know where this different way of looking at magic will take us, but we are willing to work hard to make enjoyable entertainment for you.
