- Magic is an art, as capable of beauty as music, painting or poetry. But the core of every trick is a cold, cognitive experiment in perception: Does the trick fool the audience? A magician’s data sample spans centuries, and his experiments have been replicated often enough to constitute near-certainty.

I know a guy that has a daughter that is around 5 yo. I have a 1 yo. I asked him for some advice because he seems pretty good at it. He said, "learn some magic tricks". His daughter loves it, her friends love it and because of it, he's the "cool" dad. I have a few tricks up my sleeve and I've been brushing up on my juggling. Magic is so much fun. A friend of mine had a magician at his 30th bday party. -such a blast.
