As magicians, we use the tools of our craft to create an experience of mystery, astonishment and pure wonder. With a working knowledge of these secrets we can weave a spell upon the audience to amaze, amuse and even inspire. But these are by no means the only secrets of magic. One can no more reveal or expose the real secrets than one can take apart a piano to find the music inside. For the magic, like the music, exists only in that timeless moment of the performer and the performance. It is then and only then, that the craft of magic is elevated to what Maskelyne So aptly called "The High Art of Magic".

Remember: even though the effects are illusion, the experience that is created is very real ... Jay Scott Berry,
