        As a scientist, my brain tells me that any magic tricks must have an explanation somehow. And indeed when I was younger I would always enjoy watching the shows where they reveal the magicians secrets! However, I admit, some magicians out there like Troy or Dynamo blow my mind, as I have no idea what is going on! There is no immediate logical explanation, which what makes it feel like magic to me!

        I don’t really believe in magic, although I used to when I was younger, and I loved fairy stories. ‘Science’ is actually a method/tool that we as people use to look at the world and understand it. When we don’t understand it is tempting to say it’s magic!

        I suspect everything can really be explained by scince but don’t let me persuade you – make up your own mind 🙂
