Magic From Everyday Life And Phenomenon
The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. – Eden Philpotts

Magic is not limited to uncanny magic or magic tricks.
Open your eyes and your mind’s eye, and let your sense of wonder lead you to the wide world of possibilities, astonishment and fantasies.
Magic is living in wonder, and it is everywhere around us.
It could be any unexplained object, experience or event that captivates our fascination, challenges our understanding, and compels us to question.
Stories about intriguing occurrences, from scientific anomalies and natural wonders to cultural shifts and the mysterious symbols woven into both pop culture and counterculture.
Be they historical artifacts, grimoires, paranormal encounters, mind-bending illusions, or puzzling human behaviors.
It could be finding a trove of free books online in Z-Library.
Anything magical, ineffable, stupendous, amazeballs and whatnots.
Mystical Magic & Pseudoscience
The next form of magic is the hidden art of mystical magic aka occultism and pseudoscience.
Our magical thinking that looks to the invisible powerful beings and forces to influence our daily events.
Men even believe they can control and manipulate these supernatural phenomena or entities.
Man fears that which he does not know and understand. Without proper knowledge, to him it is a mystery and magic.
Mystical practices include enchantment, divination, witchcraft, astrology, incantations, alchemy, sorcery, spirit mediation, and necromancy.
Closely linked to supernatural is pseudoscience; beliefs or practices that claim to be both scientific and factual but cannot be proven with scientific methods.
On the brink of mystery, the spirit of man is seized with giddiness. Mystery is the abyss which ceaselessly attracts our unquiet curiosity by the terror of its depth. The greatest mystery of the infinite is the existence of Him for whom alone all is without mystery.

Magic Tricks & Stage Illusions
Then there is this popular form of magic, as opposed the daily magical experiences and the paranormal magic.
Abracadabra! The magical illusions and sleight of hand or legerdemain for entertainment.
If we do not know the secrets of the tricks, they appear magical to your senses.
Those who love the art of conjuring stage magic, and want to know about magic trick secrets, you can find them here.
Every aspect of the trick secrets are clearly explained, supported with relevant visuals, illustrations and video snippets.
You also get to learn the science and psychology behind magic tricks; how one suspends one’s disbelief.
… the effect does not happen on stage, but in the minds of the audience. It is a mental state, created by a dilemma, based upon a contradiction – X cannot happen, X happened. – Peter Lamont

Believing And Susceptible Mind
Learn how our belief system can influence our thoughts and perceptions, thus shaping our understanding of the magical and the mysterious.
As our mind is inherently susceptible to persuasion and manipulation, find out how you can better navigate or even exploit the complexities of our thoughts and beliefs.
And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.
