Magicians and Super Powers

[Josh Burch]

I used to think it would be totally sweet if I could fly. I still think it would be sweet. The want to be able to fly, be super strong or psychic are all aspects of what made me want to become a magician. Now as a magician I can pretend like I really have super powers like Super Man, Captain America and Charles Xavier.

What kind of super power do you wish you had? Would you use it to enhance your magic? Are there tricks that you like because they feel like you have super powers? What do you think?

I like magic because I feel myself a superhero while inventing and performing a magic effect. Good point Josh.

I like Karl Pilkington's idea for a super power. For those that don't know, Karl is known, at least professionally, as an idiot, starring in his own travel show "An Idiot Abroad", amongst other things. I'm not sure I would be able to describe the super power quite as poetically as Karl does, so here you go.

As for magic and super powers, it's a difficult one because magic itself is pretty much a super power, making the impossible happen.
