Questions:
1. What are your take-aways from this video?
That magic doesnt have to be a trick of the eye, it can be anything that seems impossible. Also, that nothing is impossible. Dangerous, stupid and almost fatal, yes, but not impossible.
2. What are the speaker's effective speaking techniques?
He makes people laugh without trying to, which is cool. It's nice to see someone famous not trying too hard, it makes them seem down to earth. He also gets emotional towards the end of the video, it makes us see how personal this all actually was to him, and that it wasn't just something else to make money. He does it because he enjoys showing people that there isn't an impossible.
3. What is his/her presentation style?
He is VERY casual, but he also uses clips and pictures to bring the audience into the experience. And it helps to bring back the memories to himself, and make it more intense to tell again, and people in the audience who rememeber when it happened.
4. What matters from this video? How does it connect to you personally? To education? To the world?
What matters is his passion for what he does. David put his heart and soul into this attempt. But he didn't let his failures and setbacks discourage him. Personally, I can use this video to remind myself that I can do ANYTHING when I'm doubting myself. Also to show myself that there are still people who do things for the sake of doing them, and loving them, rather than the money, and motivte me to pursue the things I love. For education, it shows us that we can reach all goals, with alot of hard work and focus. It also shows that you don't hsve to do something "school-like" or L-Directed to succeed in life. To the world, it doesn't just set a world record, it proves to the world that there are people who will try and try again until they get it right.
And this video is incredibly inspiring to me, because it held my attention well, and it is incredibly meaningful in ways that it doesn't directly say.
