What People See And Don’t See

Which is more amazing –
what people see, or what people ignore?

Magic is the art of deception. It has captivated and enthralled us for over 2,500 years. The first recorded magic act was by the magician Dedi, who performed his tricks in Ancient Egypt in 2,700 BCE – and we’ve been watching magic ever since.

The art is not in what is done; it’s in the words, which keep us in thrall. 
Thrall: from Old English thrǣl ‘slave’, from Old Norse thræll.

It takes place in theatres and temples, and on screens. 
Why?
In childhood, we learn to believe, and that stays with us as a trauma.
