Just because you know how something works doesn’t make it not magic

Even magic itself loses its magic when you know how it works.

Does it, really? Or is it “magic” all the way down…? :-D

As someone who was crazy about magic as a kid and learned a bunch of magic tricks, yes, it does. Really.

Oh yeah, for magic “tricks” that’s fair:-).
You could still use it to cause squeals of delight from young’uns who don’t know any better yet. So the utility is vastly diminished, but not entirely gone.

As someone else who was crazy about magic as a kid, I feel like that just made magic even more magical. Having an understanding of how magic tricks work lets you really appreciate the art and be truly wowed when you see a trick you can’t figure out.

Totally agree. I just witnessed my sister delivering her baby a few days back.

Any sufficiently analysed magic is indistinguishable from science!

If you understand magnets you know how magic works. Hell, even aerofoils seems like a glitch in reality.
