The secret impresses no one. The trick is everything.

I am impressed though. After watching The Prestige and Secrets of Street Magicians Revealed, I am now of the opinion that magicians are (among) the smartest people on planet earth. Semasa aku menonton the latter show, aku telah menjerit-jerit kerana kekaguman akan kebijaksanaan di sebalik the so-called magic shows. Mereka illusionists; bukan pengamal ilmu syaitan, atau ahli sains. Mereka sekadar menyilapkan mata kita, manusia-manusia yang mahu disilapkan mata. And if all magicians are super damn hot and very, very amusing like ‘Batman’ Christian Bale and ‘Wolverine’ Hugh Jackman, the lots of Ryan Star, Robbie Williams, Rob Thomas or even (the undefeatable) Mawi can kiss goodbye to limelight kerana umum akan mengunjungi pertunjukan silap mata instead of rock shows. Terima kasih. Akhir kata, “Abracadabra”.
