This thesis explores the multifaceted nature of wonder and its integration with modern design, proposing that wonder is an interactive and progressive experience composed of amazement, curiosity, and reflection. Through examining instances such as magic shows, the study reveals that wonder encompasses more than just amazement, highlighting the roles of curiosity and self-awareness.As humans mature, accumulating experiences and assumptions, they often believe they've lost the innate abilities of wonder and curiosity. However, the challenge lies in perceiving these elements amidst the evolving behaviors, actions, and perceptions that accompany growth. In today's technological landscape, designs primarily prioritize enhancing efficiency and expediting processes. Consequently, the appreciation for wonder and curiosity often gets overshadowed by the rapid pace of technology. Yet, is there still a pathway for individuals to rekindle these childlike moments?Magic possesses a remarkable ability to achieve this revival, transforming perceptions from the mundane to the extraordinary. This study highlights the dual elements inherent in the phrase "Wow, how did you do that?"-the evocative "wow" signifying wonder and the inquisitive "how did you do that?" representing curiosity-within the context of modern design.The research includes street magic experiments in New York, analyzing participants' immediate reactions and reflections. These experiments demonstrate that wonder involves amazement and curiosity, underscoring the importance of self-awareness in experiencing wonder. The study further investigates the origins of wonder in childhood, emphasizing how self-awareness development impacts experiencing awe. It discusses local and non-local awareness, showing how practices like meditation can enhance one's connection to the universe and foster a deeper sense of presence and wonder.By analyzing cognitive processes like accommodation and the impact of assumptions on curiosity, the research provides insights into how design can evoke wonder. It offers a new definition of wonder and a framework for integrating this emotion into design practices to enhance user experiences.Merging cognitive psychology, design, and human experience, this thesis aims to incorporate wonder into everyday life, enriching human interactions with the designed environment and highlighting the potential for modern design to evoke childlike wonder and curiosity.Key words: wonder, curiosity, magic methodology, self awareness, presentness, social media, assumption, information asymmetry, conspiracy theory, process, result, adaptation, interaction design.
