  • Science requires that you do not simply start with a belief in something, quite the opposite in fact.

    Magic has two common definitions: a trick which is designed to create the illusion that something supernatural has occurred, or an assertion that the supernatural does indeed exist with magic being the ‘evidence’.

    As I am sure someone has said at some point, real magic is fake and fake magic is real.

    Magic has nothing to do with science, even though someone once famously said that ‘any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.’
