I don't do illiusionist magic ariesmars, I do Divine Magic, but my grandson went through a stage where he was quite a good little magician..he's a teen now so he's into unacceptable pastimes like growing up....I adore him but he was so cute when he was a baby...

I like magic but not so keen on tricks or deception. That's kind of what my current avatar is showing I know (deception) but it's so obvious to me that it is a bit amusing. I'll change it if it is upsetting anyone?

I think that magic can be found in everything. If we just knew how to see it. Some people think that life itself is a grand illusion. I could go on about it all, but will leave my comment short. Sark777 I cant imagine anyone feeling upset about your avitar picture. Seems good to me.

My husband was just in Las Vegas last weekend with his 3 brothers and went to see David Copperfield his last night; one of his all-time favorite showmen :-)

I agree. I would love to live in that world as long as I do not have to run into "he who shall not be named", Delores Umbridge and the Malfoys. But sadly I guess they are already in our world....... in great numbers. Thankfully, those who chose light are in greater number !!! Oh yes, I would love a wand to clean my house. Closest I have found is petville ( on facebook ) they have "clean bombs"
Thanks for this!

I love his magic, not just trick, but uses stories too. and that makes it very touching. I always wanted to see him, but feel he is getting older and will stop doing shows soon. What illusions did he perform?

I really never cared that much for magic, but I have to say, I went to the Magic Castle in Los Angeles several times when I lived there. There are many rooms with different magicians doing different magic shows in each room....one goes from room to room & then they serve dinner either after or before the show depending on when you arrive. It wasn't open to the public, but by invitation, knowing a magician, or in my case, the management club I belonged to at work had contacts.

I am fascinated by the really impressive magic, always trying to see the how behind it. But I think the frustration behind knowing there is a how & not being able to figure it out is why I don't really enjoy it that much.
