Episode Synopsis "The Paradox of Performance Anxiety"

Performance anxiety is the fear of exposing yourself and performing in front of an audience. The solution many entertainers have found is to go out and throw yourself into the face of the bull. This "solution" creates the infamous paradox: not being able to perform because of fear, yet the only way to terminate this fear is to perform. This is a problem not only magicians have, but people in all different types of fields have, from Public Speaking to Theater, even to just Meeting or a Presentation. Support the Show.
