The Illusionist Miguel De Lucas, Making The Impossible Possible

Roald Dahl said that “a little magic can take you far”. The professional illusionist Miguel de Lucas, who is also a speaker and TV personality, has made magic his way of life. In addition, he is a pioneer when it comes to combining magic and personal growth.

Magic is a bridge that makes the impossible possible. It is an innovative mechanism that enables you to be your best self. Someone who is more powerful, healthy and happy, of course. This is what Miguel tells us in his book Hay un mago en ti: Descubre tu magia interior (There is a magician in you: Discover your inner magic) .

In our interview with Miguel de Lucas, we learned that resources such as magical thinking, visualization and motivation can help you achieve well-being in your daily life.

Miguel de Lucas is an illusionist, expert in emotional communication and the winner of the national magic prize in 2019 in Spain. He also hosts the weekly television program Un país mágico in Spain. In addition, he has published a book, Hay un mago en ti: Descubre tu magia interior (There is a magician in you: Discover your inner magic) , to help us face life with magic.

In fact, this illusionist master helps us to discover the inner wizard that we all have within us and who can do so much for us.

His book is unique and inspiring. It contains advice, techniques and personal stories. In fact, it lifts the curtain of self-improvement and happiness.

Interview with the illusionist Miguel de Lucas

First of all, we want to know how you became interested in magic from the beginning.

I became interested in illusion at a very young age and I was influenced by the Aragonese magician Pepe Carrol, who I used to watch on TV. I was actually thrilled by the special way he communicated. Later I went to Ana Tamariz’s magic school in Madrid.

How do you think magic and personal growth are linked?

Without a doubt, magic is the most effective way to see things that at first seem impossible, so the relationship comes from there.

The first step to achieving something, whether on a personal or professional level, is to visualize it and imagine that it is possible. This is what we do every day with magic.

The illusionist Miguel de Lucas about his book: What made you write it?

I felt I needed to share my own experiences of anxiety and depression with everyone. I thought that my messages in the book can help many people. In fact, sometimes when I close my eyes, I dream that my book really helps them to be brave and go to a psychologist or psychiatrist.

Your book is an invitation for us to make a magical journey into our interior. This is an interesting proposal. What luggage do we need?

I think we should bring our own dreams and our inner magician, who is safe and capable. We should bring everything that makes the trip happier. Of course, everyone knows what to bring. But at the end of the day, we are all equal, so love, affection, and enthusiasm help us feel good along the way.

For those who have not heard of the book, what is it about? 

Techniques, resources and tools from the world of illusion that we can use in our personal and professional lives. Also my own personal story, which, like all stories, has its ups and downs. It’s a story from my heart.

It is a really sincere and extremely personal book. You tell about yourself and your self-improvement process. With this in mind, would you say that it is possible to overcome anxiety and depression and smile again?

Yes of course. We are genetically programmed to survive and to overcome diseases means to survive. If I did, anyone can. Of course, reading the book can help you and even inspire you, but no one but you can help you move from a gray to a colorful world.

One of the most important keys to life that the illusionist Miguel de Lucas mentions in his book is perseverance. Why is it like that? How does it affect us and how can it help us?

It’s the ability to keep going. Continue until we achieve what we want. Perseverance helps us to feel good about ourselves because it makes us aware of what we are achieving, which makes us feel good. Perseverance can also affect us in our goals.

What do you say about positivity? Do you think a positive life perspective is important? It is an approach that is widely criticized today, so we would like to know what you think.

For me, it’s important. But I understand that there is a lot of criticism of it today in the field of personal development. I think positivism is like seeing the glass half full instead of half empty, and I do not think there is anything wrong with that. On the contrary, in fact. I think this kind of perspective makes it easier for us to face all of life’s adventures.

The illusionist Miguel de Lucas explains how we can connect to the best version of ourselves

There are many ways. I’ll tell you how I do it. It is a difficult exercise but also really exciting. You need to think in a certain way until you feel that something within you is driving you to achieve your goals. This way, you can gather your strength and keep fighting even when you feel you have nothing left.

You can achieve this with meditation or physical exercise. Above all, you need a good and realistic action plan and be motivated. When you reach your goals, your best version will grow and eventually become unstoppable.

Can you reveal some tricks you have to help us live a magical life?

There are some interesting little tips. I share some that help me become aware of certain aspects related to emotions and intelligence. For example, people say, “When emotions are high, intelligence is low.” This means that we can sometimes make decisions when emotions start to get high and make mistakes. In the book I share more interesting tips.

Finally, can you recommend a song full of magic and enthusiasm to live by?

Without a doubt La Sonrisa Intacta by Shinova. It is a song of life and positivity. It really gives me energy. I hope you like it too.
