11 - Concept of Magic

Do you believe in magic, do you feel like you can shoot fire with your hands or control the wind with the flick of a finger, most people believed that it was real back then in ancient times. Others would think that this ability was lost in time. Some of us would make a fool out of ourselves if we were to try it out. That is true, in fact it’s quite frustrating when nothing happens at all. Well, most of the time atleast.     So we resolved into other methods, such as tricks and illusions. These are now most widely known as magic. They are nothing more than deceptions something that we encounter everyday, when you look at a magic trick you focus on what is being held by the magician, that is when you are looking closely. but what you do not see is the bigger picture. when you look closely you fail to see the sleight of hand the magician used because you were to busy paying attention to the distraction, classic misdirection.

Another example would be, the presentation of the magician. Some big-shot performers use the advantage of a grand entrance. Some people are amazed, others well not so much. But the point was none of them realized that they were being tricked already. I mean sure they used it for flare, but do they really know why? Now if you are asking me what magic really is, it’s about broadening your vision to see the bigger picture, to makes sense of it all. Now I’ll ask you again, do you believe in magic?
