Hey guys, I'm just wondering...why do magicians need to cover their magic? I mean like, when they make something disappear they have to cover it up with a cloth. I know its just illusion...but won't it be great if they would actually show their magic and not hide it under a cloth?

Hi Donsky 14, hows the baby..... I think if we know the secret it wont be a magic any more. I hear its takes year to learn a trick so they will not share it easily with us. Don't you know magician school really expensive because there are so many tools that need to buy in order to success.

Not at all my friend. Its always reasonable thing and related to physic because magician is just a Technic with proper lighting.

they do that to build excitement to the viewers and also to hide their secrets behind those magic tricks they do.

Yeah, hiding sure is one reason for that.

well, if they don't then it would not seem like magic. i suggest you watch unmasking the magician. i don't really remember if that's the right title. but it's a show where they reveal how magicians perform their tricks. it's pretty cool.

But wouldn't it be more shocking if they won't hide it? It'll really make you say: "Wow, magic IS real". Yeah I've seen that show, the one with the mask magician? Its cool that there's a show like that, at least magicians would work hard on learning new tricks.

I think the reason why we are amazed is simply because they are covered. If they don't cover it up, you can see exactly what is happening and I don't think many people will be interested to see those magic performance anymore. What we know is one thing and what we see is the other. We know they are illusion but we are still amazed when we see it.

I see...but wouldn't it be more interesting if we were able to see it without the covers?

if they show people their magic power,there will be a sea of people who want to get benefit from them.and there will be a great mass in the world.... or, another situation is,the magicians are the ones who want to get benefit....and they take their clothes off,in order to attact the world detently.... that's horrible,what do u think?
