The writer of this article says that “magicians are an odd bunch.” Keen observation, huh? He further goes on and says “They spend many solitary hours practicing in front of the mirror, vanishing small objects, making them reappear in unexpected places, burning and restoring money, throwing cards in the air or at the ceiling, all the while talking and laughing to themselves to practice their patter and misdirection.”

So what’s the point of the story? The writer ultimately talks about using magic skills to outsmart robbers, help the sick and get out of real-life tight corners.
