i do believe in magic




i do believe in magic. magic is an amazing thing to see. incredible, entertaining and turn your mood from blue to red on fire. and magicians, mmm awesome people i think, of course because of their skills. they make you smile, everyone for sure, and of course me.

they show us cards, let us pick one, let us keep it. but they don’t see it. they guess it like gambling. sometimes they tell us to see and remember the card, then tell us to send "the card" through something called mind. (well, i was told to do it). and after a few sec they mention the card we picked. or they show the card by “pull” it from the deck, maybe it’s called make the card rise itself. with a bunch of pride written all over their face. they’re right!

or. like a show I’ve seen in national tv. a magician or illusionist, show his hand comes through a glass box. a glass box full of dolls we often see in game center. unbelievable. and audience unconsciously open their mouth widely. he say this easily, “don’t you think you want me to get a doll for ya? while my hand still in the box. come choose one.” oh God! and he pull his hand, and the doll, out of the glass box slowly, and no scar. the hand and the doll are live happily ever after.

what a skill huh?

then audience becomes so happy. but their face like saying “how can?”. magicians made us turn into good mood to enjoy every surprise they do.

oh and i found this from wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org)
Magic, sometimes known as sorcery, is the practice of consciousness manipulation and/or autosuggestion to achieve a desired result, usually by techniques described in various conceptual systems. The practice is often influenced by ideas of religion, mysticism, occultism, science, and psycholog.

yes. magic is related to my major study, psychology. because it is related to mind. and imagination in it. maybe it is also related to how you can believe in magic. it’s on your mind. how you see it, understand it, then believe it. it’s all about magic on your mind.

there's a song titled Oxygen by Colbie Caillat. some of the lyrics :

"I came apart inside a world made of angry people
I found a boy who had a dream
Making everyone smile.."

maybe this song was dedicated to a magician ;))
