Who Does Not Like Magic?

The New Way to See the Magic

Luis Laurito

I divide who does not like magic in two different groups: one that understands by your religion that magic is from ill. The other is the group that really do not understand the magic it self.

The "not understand group"

Let's start from the people that do not realize what the purpose the magical arts.

If we see the history of magic with playing cards, we discovered that this kind of magic starts with the gamble cheaters. So we have here a negative association with the magic, if (I said IF) we just do a free association. But magical arts have the objective to entertain the public. In other words: magic just have the target to do a good thing. Magicians based the technique in some movements from the cheaters. If a magician uses that knowledge to win a game, for example, he is not a magician. He is a cheater.

If somebody has this unconscious thought about the past (cheaters) and he has an experience of a bad gay using magic for other purposes, we create this bad feeling about magic.

Religions

That group bring us to the past again. In the time that Moses is guiding the people to the New Land, Moses transformed your shepherd's staff in to a snake. All the magicians (magicians were like priests in that time) was convoked to do the same and nobody was.

We can note (like the first group) that if the magician use in the wrong way the magic that will have a bad influence to the art.

Magic exists to enchant the audience. If you are a magician, please, do the right thing. If you are the Public: the great number of person does not have a "special power". If somebody is doing something "special" and the intention is not entertain, mistrust.
