Magic is a state of mind. It is often portrayed as very black and gothic, and that is because certain practitioners played that up for a sense of power and prestige. That is a disservice. Magic is very colorful. Of this, I am sure.

I think that magic, at its root, is a very abstract notion. There's no real, approved definition. And, in that sense, it's like love; you can only see magic by the effect it has on people.

Sometimes, magic is just someone spending more time on something than anyone else might reasonably expect.

Magic symbolises the subconscious - that part of us that is creative and powerful that we sometimes don't tap into.

Magic is an art form where you lie and tell people you are lying.

I like to say magic is the world's second oldest profession, a mystical and often awe-inspiring spectacle that, throughout the ages, has blended superstition, trickery and religion.

Indubitably, magic is one of the subtlest and most difficult of the sciences and arts. There is more opportunity for errors of comprehension, judgment and practice than in any other branch of physics.

Magic provides a way of still having room for possibilities, an unlimited sense of what the world offers. Magic is always there when science is found wanting.

Magic frightens people almost as much as it intrigues them.

There is magic in my universe, but it's pretty low magic compared to other fantasies.
