CREATIVE ADVENTURES — 20
Imagine You Can Store Things In Another Dimension
Whatever Item You Need, You Use Your Magic Handbag
In this exercise, you can pull out any item that you need — you just need to call upon that item. You do have a magic bag or storage space to keep whatever you prefer. Like Mary Poppins, you can pull out an umbrella or a bicycle whenever you need.
Superhero series and comic books call this superpower ‘dimensional storage’. This is the power to store anything in an invisible dimension and re-materialize them at will. Using this power, you can manipulate space, use an unlimited amount of storage, and immediately pull the items you need.
Please respond to the following questions:
- Make a list of 10 items that you would like to keep in your magical storage unit. Remember there are no limitations on space — you can even choose a car or a ship if you would like.
- Think of 7 ways or instances your quality of life would improve using this superpower. For example, you would not need to pack any luggage when you fly or go on holiday. Or, you would not need a parking space for your car, since you could park it in your magical space.
- Imagine that you are trapped on a desert island for a month. However, fortunately, you do have your magical space with you. What are the 6 things you would store and pull out using your superpower? Why?
- How could you get rich using this superpower? Think of several ways or alternatives you can solve problems and create value for other people. Create a story on how you become rich using this power.
- Imagine that you are invited to present on Shark Tank. As a sole entrepreneur, you will showcase your superpower and convince sharks to invest in your enterprise. Prepare your pitch.
- Imagine that you have heavily used this power and stored hundreds of items in your magical space. Now, you cannot locate what you need because of the clutter. You realize minimalism is helpful even in magical circumstances. How will you deal with the mess you have created? Write a story where you encounter and resolve this problem.
- Imagine that you are going to a superheroes convention where everyone shares and showcases their powers. You realize that some superheroes find your power lame. You promise yourself you would create a compelling case and make a great impression with your power. How would you create a compelling personal brand? How would you demonstrate the value that you add to the lives of people? How would you save lives, if needed? Create a TED talk to prove your worth and contribution.
- Imagine that you are a magician and you are invited to America’s Got Talent. Using your superpower, create a jaw-dropping sequence of magic acts that will impress the jury and the audience on this show. How will you use your bag of tricks?
- Forget your superpower now. Imagine that you are a designer who can hide things in plain sight. You are an expert in designing secret passageways, hidden rooms, storage systems, invisible lockboxes, mysterious keys, and vaults set into the walls. Create a few ideas on how to design secret spaces in a mansion. Create a thriller story that involves the use of these spaces for a crime. Create a fast-paced mystery and hide-and-seek story.
