Magic If

Magic If is another one of Stanislavski's excises that help you get into character. Its all about putting yourself in the situation and seeing how your character would react to it. Asking yourself questions such as 'What if I were in the same situation as my character?' and  'How would my character react?'.

From doing this excise I deepened my knowledge of my character, because I had to think about my characters personality and how that would effect his or hers reaction. This made the performance realistic and the reactions more truthful.
