Class Intros!

I know we don’t “officially” have class this week but I wanted to get the ball rolling with some easy lifting! Normally on the first day of class, I go around the room and ask people to tell me a little bit about who they are, where they are coming from, and what made them interested in the class/what they hope to learn.

Would you be willing to share in the comments? As I mentioned in my first post, I’m hoping for this to be as interactive as possible and would love to get to know you — and for you to get to know each other!

I've been following your work for awhile and when I left Twitter you advised me that this was a format to follow and keep learning.

I created a project to help counter disinformation but it was only of limited effect for obvious reasons to anyone taking the course. It was like mopping the tide to try and push it back.

Most of my background is related to psychology, mentalism, and magic. Not sorcery, unless I'm pretending to be one for an act. 😂😂😂 My stage name is Doctor Wonderland because I can totally disrupt a person's psyche in my act. (Like Wonderland effect 😂)

I'm a qualified psychoanalyst and a body language expert. I have 35 years experience in professional level magic. Most people can't lie to me in person and I will bust a fake psychic in seconds.

I find the psychological warfare interesting and I want to help in anyway I can to fight back.
