It's not sometimes realistic to think that something magical can happen, but I think I look for the magic.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.
I think every fantasy reader secretly believes they know how magic works.
There is magic in my universe, but it's pretty low magic compared to other fantasies.
Sometimes, magic is just someone spending more time on something than anyone else might reasonably expect.
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.
It seemed to me that you make magic real by making it a little prosaic, a little difficult and disappointing - never quite as glamorous as the other characters imagine.
Magic happens, see. It's just like on those bumper stickers, the ones that say, 'Miracles Happen', or 'Jesus Happens'. I never really took those too seriously. I mean, they're bumper stickers. Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking. Miracles? Right. Jesus? Maybe. But magic?
When something exceeds your ability to understand how it works, it sort of becomes magical.
I believe in illusion - I don't believe in magic.
I really don't believe in magic.
