I sort of like it when things I do get described as "magic", because I kind of agree, just not in the sense that it's usually meant.

Because usually it's things where they get to see the grand finish and are all "teach me your secrets". Then you try to do that and they somehow instantaneously lose interest once they learn that every single performance involves half an hour of tedious prep, two stage hands, and hundreds of hours of practice and rehearsal to be able to nail it in the first place.
