What if the strategy for eliminating waste and enhancing efficiency from the corporate world could be applied to magic? Join us for a spellbinding conversation with Stuart MacDonald, a one-of-a-kind magician turned entrepreneur who dared to do just that. MacDonald, whose career spans from touring as a magician to running a haunted house, to entering the corporate world and filming a documentary, shares his journey of triumphs and lessons learned.
In the labyrinth of creating a magic act, LEAN principles, time management, and inventory management become crucial aspects of the process. Imagine a thousand-part act that needs to be assembled and disassembled efficiently. That's exactly what MacDonald did, and his dedication to perfecting his craft landed him a coveted spot on Penn and Teller's "Fool Us," while also pushing him into the top 10 at the World Magic tournament. Relive MacDonald's inspiring journey of overcoming challenges, the importance of refining his act, and how his victory opened doors to success.. This episode is an enchanting blend of magic, entrepreneurship, and the sheer power of resilience and innovation.
