  1. Around 5:00 they discuss something I've seen enough of to confirm: vast majority, the strong rule, few exceptions, whenever you see a successful entertainer, magic, comedy, singing, puppets, whatever it is - they worked relentlessly to get and stay there. They put in the '10,000 hours' they did the dedicated practice. They did not just happen to be 'blessed with great dancing feet' but spent and still spend 12 hours a day dedicated to dance moves. They weren't not just somehow lucky to be a wizard with a guitar but put in uncountable time and work and practice. Gladwell's Outliers are very very real and the constant rule. Yes, the ODD rare event aka 'The exception that proves the rule' streaks through now and then. One-hit wonders occur (actually most of those also took tremendous time and practice) but the rare 'fluke viral sensation' can zoom around too but please do NOT believe that is how it works as an otherwise very strict rule. I saw a magician do that simple 'appearing cane' thing but the way he did it look REALLY GOOD. Even if you know its a cheap expanding prop it STILL looked effing amazing how he did it. I realized he did it 1000 times, the guy who'd go find the lighting, perfectly pick exact angles, redo practice dozens of times until, on THAT specific night in exactly that specific stage with those specific lights he had perfection. and that was just the opening 5 seconds of his act!! 5 flawless excellent seconds.
