Magic: The Gathering is like Dungeons and Dragons if D&D was played with cards and didn't take 18 weeks.

Somebody said they threw their copy of Dungeons and Dragons into the fire, and it screamed. It's a game! The magic spells in it are as real as the gold. Try retiring on that stuff.
Sometimes, magic is just someone spending more time on something than anyone else might reasonably expect.
I've never played Dungeons & Dragons, but I'm actually pretty familiar with it.
We all enjoy a magic show, but we don't demand a Q&A afterward explaining how it was done.

Like an apparently strict musical form it breaks the five minute whole into its structural parts - a descriptive preamble, the action of taking the cards, the development of the cards' manipulation and the revelation of what has been achieved.
