Ladies and gentlemen, do you
remember the first time you saw magic? Well, when I was a little kid, my
kindergarten teacher showed me a trick. That was when I first watched magic.
She did this:(performing) "Hey kids, look at this handkerchief. I push
this blue handkerchief into my hand, and watch. It's gone! But if you say a
magic word, 'abracadabra', you can make it reappear!" I couldn't believe
my eyes. And this experience inspired me to start learning magic. Today,
however, instead of taking you to the mysterious world of magic, I'd like to
discuss how the fantasy of magic can create a more pleasant life.
Now, what is your response when
you see a trick like this? Through my experience as a magician, I've found that
there are mainly two different types of reactions when people see magic. Let me
explain.
The first group of people try to
enjoy the illusion. They accept the fantasy of magic, and try to believe what
is going on in front of their eyes.
