5 reasons why I am captivated by magic

  1. Love to see unbelievable things

    My recent experience at the Magic Castle (Blog I, II, III ) confirmed why I love magic so much. The magicians are so skillful and make things that aren’t supposed to happen appear natural. Cards that aren’t supposed to change sizes do. A $20 bill that was supposed to be burnt becomes sealed in a sugar packet.

  2. The challenge of figuring out how the trick works

    I find it so interesting trying to figure out how the tricks works. I read in books about magic that there is often misdirection, but even when I am trying to look at things we are not supposed to, it is hard to figure out.
