The Design and Development of a Magic-based Teaching Method in Facilitating Creative Design Thinking
Main Article Content
Abstract
This design case introduces a design and development process of using magic performance as a method to facilitate students’ creative design thinking in user-centered design. Magic performance is used not only as a creativity stimulus for facilitating design flexibility but also as a guiding tool for facilitating the design process. Specifically, three design iterations are presented along with design challenges, design solutions, and a discussion of student experiences. A goal of this design case is to inspire other designers to develop similar interventions based on unexplored but meaningful activities, such as magic performance.
