THE MEANING OF MAGIC
By Master Magicians
As a professional magician, I have been refining my answer to the following question for the past few years:
“What is my definition of magic?"
True Magic is the indescribable feeling that a person gets when their senses experience a moment of awe and wonder that their brain can not logically explain!
I have asked the same question of some of the best magicians in the world.
Below are some of their responses.
"For my own part, I have never had a thought which I could not set down in words, with even more distinctness than that with which I conceived it. There is, however, a class of fancies, of exquisite delicacy, which are not thoughts, and to which as yet I have found it absolutely impossible to adapt to language. These fancies arise in the soul, alas how rarely, only at epochs of most intense tranquility, when the bodily and mental health are in perfection, and at those weird points of time, where the confines of the waking world blend with the world of dreams. And so I captured this fancy, where all that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream"
Edgar Allen Poe
