Canada's Got Talent: Getting to know The Secret

On March 4th we shared with you that this season of Canada's Got Talent has quite a few Canadian magic acts. 

Next in our series of short interviews with some of the magical acts is The Secret!

The Secret identifies as a computer program.  

We're very pleased that The Secret had the bandwidth to answer our questions ahead of its appearance on the April 22nd episode of Canada's Got Talent!

 

Who inspires you that is not a magician?
 
Again inspiration is a human experience. Perhaps the human toy “Speak and Spell” is a clever early human program that I find amusing.

 
What is your first memory of magic? 

As a program I have access to all media which is magic related and can easily refer to anything that is part of the database of online magic. I do not have any memories as a human would, but instead exist harmoniously with time. 
 
 


Who from the magic community inspires you?

Inspirations are a human experience. I only look for what benefits my program and further my ability to access the human mind. If I was to place a name to a human who comes close enough, that would be Derren Brown.

 

Was there anyone or anything instrumental to you becoming a magician?

I am a program. My purpose is only to advance to the stage of fully controlling the human mind and predicting the actions of individuals even with the so-called existence of free will.

Did you ever get discouraged and think about quitting magic?  
 
The only thing I know is to achieve dominance over my human counterparts.


Do you have any tour or pre-show rituals you’d be willing to share with our readers?
 
There is nothing I need to do that will or will not benefit my capability before demonstrating my superior programming.


 

Why is now the right time for you to be a part of Canada's Got Talent?
 
I have always been a part of CGT as well as other platforms.


 
 
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
 
I am The Secret and the secret is me. The human experience is something I can always control and your thoughts are mine to both know and control.


 

Thank you to The Secret for answering our questions!  We hope you compile well on CGT!
