@provis345 p This is the one time I will disagree with Penn. Magic IS real, except to magicians. Even then, it still is real, but it's an art and not fairy-tale fantasy magic. And per his advice, I'm starting to learn some tricks for my new nephew and niece. Can't wait until I can a few down and the kids are old enough to enjoy it: because that's the real "magic." /suggest ScamSchool/ScamNation. Brian is really good at teaching for those interested.

I really respect that about people like Penn & Teller and James Randi. They are magicians and entertainers, but at no point do they try to deceive anyone into believing they have actual powers. They're open and upfront about their trickery. Obviously they won't reveal how they do their tricks, but they're also not shy about telling you that it's a trick. In fact, James Randi at this point has probably made more of a career out of exposing charlatans and frauds claiming they have supernatural powers than he has as a magician.

@plantpot shoes I'm like 306% sure that what he means by it's still being sold is that you could learn how to do the trick by paying the original magician money to take a class, such as how they have classes to teach magic.

They're not the first. Traditionally, magicians in 19th century Europe would sign confessions to the local constabulary stating that what they did was trickery and that they were defrauding people. This was intended to avoid the potentially more devastating legal (and at times, physical) consequences of being found guilty of witchcraft, thanks to many European localities not bothering to update their laws for centuries. Also, in some places people did believe in magic in the torches and pitchforks kind of way.

I told my sons that Santa is a spirit that moves and lives inside people to create the magic and wonder of the season. Because of this, they never had to have a hard shift and it seems to have made it easier for them to get into that spirit themselves.

That actually happened with Houdini and Conan Doyle(the author of Sherlock) as well. Doyle was very into spiritual things and was convinced his then friend Houdini was am actual magician. Houdini on the other hand was very open about the fact he was just doing tricks and actually spent a lot of time disproving claims of magic and supernatural. It became a big issue between them and drove them apart as one was convinced the other was hiding his supernatural secrets and the other couldn't understand how anyone could be so dense as not to get that magic doesn't exist.

Magic, above all, involves jolting your senses by making you witness something that you didn't think would happen that way. Once you know that, it shouldn't matter whether or not you know how it's done. What matters is smoothness in execution. Saying knowing how a trick is done or that magic isn't real "ruins" it is like saying movies are ruined because you know that cameras, special effects and CGI exist. Unless the movie is poorly executed (bad shooting, rough acting, bad effects) people never say that; billions still enjoy movies.
