Mr Gurdjieff: External Consideration & the Spectator
Gurdjieff differentiated between internal and external consideration. The former demands others adapt to you. The latter is the conscious choice to adapt to them. For the magician, this is gold.
Magic that serves the audience creates connection. It’s designed with empathy, not ego. It asks: What will move them? What do they need tonight?
External consideration transforms spectators from props into participants. They’re not fooled—they’re invited. The magician becomes not a manipulator, but a guide.
