What is magic?

We're not talking about that spine-tingling Jr. Prom you went to with that special someone. Although that night may have been very "magical," that's not what we're talking about here.

We're talking about real magic. That strange ballet that every magician must dance in order to keep their illusions alive, keep their tricks a secret, and keep their audience entertained with new, fresh magic tricks time and time again.

That is magic.

It takes so much more to be good at magic than just having an appropriately-sized top hat and rabbit. There is a whole art form to the slight of hand, diversion, and trickery that few people bother to learn. Even fewer bother to perfect.

That is magic.

Danger is the magician's dance partner and Deception is his co-pilot. He is a performer and his audience is eager to try to figure out his ruse. They want to figure out the sham. They want to be in on the con. Therefore, the magician and the audience play against each other in a delicate symphony every time magic is done.

That is magic. And bloggers speaking about it can be found at sites like ellusionist and freemagictricks4u.
