What does magic have to do with landscape design? Actually, design is design. A well-constructed magic routine is like a well-written paragraph. The process of creating it is a design process. No, I don't think that is a stretch at all. I call this "design thinking." Scroll down in this post for a bit more on design thinking.
Well, I really wasn't going to do this, but my sister "outed" me in her e-newsletter! My underground hobby is magic. Not Harry Potter magic, but close-up magic. It's a bit geeky I guess, but I enjoy it. Anyway, last fall, the Conjurors Corner magic club, of which I'm a member, held its annual magic contest. I've never entered before, but thought I'd give it a shot. It aired a couple weeks ago on local cable TV. So here for your entertainment pleasure (?), is my performance.
There were 10 contestants, so 5 are featured in each show. Here is the complete show if you are into torture. The next 5 contestants should be on in August.
The American Academy of Landscape Design offers a selection of intensive 2 and 3-day courses that focus on honing your creative skills with personal design coaching in topics spanning from design theory through construction techniques to business practices and sales. AALD training improves the real-world skills of landscape designers and architects who are serious about building reputations for high-quality residential commissions.

Tim -- Few admit in public to being a sneaky guy but
you show how to make sneakiness fun!
One suggestion: Since you are a landscape designer
and teacher, don't you think that the sign behind you in your
magic show video should be
changed from JIM Jensen to JENS Jensen?????
