More Of That, Please

I once watched a friend do a magic trick without the hat, without the rabbit, without the dramatic wrist flick. He just looked at someone mid sentence and said, “More of that attitude, please.”

And the room changed.

Not because it was polite. Because it was precise. It was a spotlight aimed at the best part of a person, the part that usually only gets noticed when it is missing. We are trained to be smoke detectors for flaws. We sniff for the burn. We hunt for what is off. We give feedback like we are issuing parking tickets.

But “more of that” is not a ticket. It is a map.

It tells someone, right there in the wild, that their goodness is visible. It gives them a handle to grab onto and pull themselves forward. It turns a fleeting moment into a repeatable behavior. That is the real trick. Not praise. Pattern recognition.
