Topics Lyn Covers
Your Vote is Magic! – While Lyn’s book mostly centers on the illusion of an elephant and a donkey, it also provides a very interesting history of voting in the United States.
Lyn has a well-earned reputation for creating innovative magic – one of the tools that helped her raise voting awareness was the massive-scale illusion involving the “mascots” of the two political parties.
In the illusion, Lyn produced a live elephant and a live donkey, out of thin air, before an audience of a thousand people in an open field, in one minute flat.
During her presentation, she described the process of creating an illusion and for the message of how important the right to vote is, and why it should always be exercised – it’s a fusion of illusion and reality.
She focuses on why voting is so important, how it impacts our everyday lives, and that every vote really does matter.
