I love magic, not because i make it, but the extent for what it brings, as Joel said on Believe. If they are willing, the feel of magic, the emotion they get goes very far. I wish i had recorded last sunday's performance video of me and a friend, one of the spectators went through 5 effects, and all effects ended well with powerful out bursted reactions comming soley from the heart, something which is hidden and which can not be brought out by your average worldly matters.
Im serious, she jumped back steps, she was the most amzing-est spectator i've ever seen. Magic can do this, and i like reminding people who they are. Bringing smiles and randoms, thats one of the things magic has taught me to do. In the end, she took my friend's number, turned out she works for a company, who does stuff like charity events, and parties. And guess who? We potentially have the chance to further our skill. She told us she'll definately call us.
I love Samurais, and i feel that doing street magic for random people, fits that concept, like you have people to save; Magic can bring happiness, something so simple but deep, goes a long way. In actual, you could ask yourself the same question and think about it, there are so many things to say.
Magic is loveable due to the ability to stretch the imagination of both you and the people you are sharing it with. You bring something more to this world of materialism.
