CreativeMornings Jakarta on MAGIC with Azisa Noor
Magic is about adding layers of wonder and surprise in our lives. Whether it’s the magic of a workplace, a show, performance, or one of those moments with great customer support, it awakens our senses and makes us pay attention to the world, encouraging us to appreciate details that are elusive in everyday life.
As the British author, Roald Dahl once said, “Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.”

“Magic is all around us, or at least that’s what I’d like to think and tell people whenever I get the chance. It might be because I make up stories for a living, but probably because it’s exactly through stories of magical happenings and unusual occurrences that I learned about life – from the bedtime stories and fairy tales that I read as a kid.”
“Now that I’m all grown up, I believe that we as adults still need our fairy tales. As our ways and perceptions become more biased and inflexible, sometimes it takes a bit of magical narrative to make us see something in a completely new and different perspective. Using the urban fantasy genre as a jumping-off platform, we’re going to talk and share between us what magical narratives we can pull and embody from our seemingly mundane everyday jobs.”
