REAL Magic vs. Bull Crap

So I realize that I might not have been clear enough on what I mean by REAL magic. Sure, it’s easy to look at Lance “Butterfingers” Burton (“Butterfingers” because the heat of REAL magic would melt his fingers off if he ever tried it!!) and know he’s a phony baloney. But there are plenty of situations you will find yourself in where you will need to know instantly if you are dealing with REAL magic or an After-School Special about non-magical suckiness.

Unfortunately, I am bound by my magician’s code to not reveal many of the secret signs or “Tells” that the person you are talking to is an actual magician (or if they ARE but DO NOT KNOW it… YET.). But I can tell you some things that ARE and ARE NOT REAL magic, and if you continue reading this blog you should also be able to pick up on a few more things (shameless plug but also the Truth!!).

REAL magic is NOT:

• Flashy Las Vegas Shows

REAL magic IS:

• Years of study and Apprenticeship at the side of an advanced magician or wizard

REAL magic is NOT:

• Card Tricks

REAL magic IS:

• Card Treats (LOL but seriously when REAL magicians use playing cards it is either to play poker with other magicians or to Commune with Death)

REAL magic is NOT:

• Sawing women in half

REAL magic IS:

• A little thing called RESPECTING women and Tools

REAL magic is NOT:

• Making things disappear

REAL magic IS:

• Making things appear, then vanquishing them back to the dark circle of Hell from which you summoned them

So, hopefully that clears things up for some of you.
