Hi All,

I believe magic is a performing art. I personally am not a magician at all and do not know even a bit about doing it. However, as a kid I was fascinated towards it and wanted to learn it for fun even during my graduation. I tried to find a place to learn on internet but to no vail. i lost interest, today after reading this article, I again tried to find a place that teaches some good magic, impressive enough to convince individuals to consider it artistic and creative. However, still I find nothing on internet. Tricks on various websites are often so low you loose hope and are forced to believe art of magic is almost dead.
I believe to save this art first step should be make it easily available on internet and then help kids learn it.

Just my thoughts and I maybe mistaken but feel free to correct me if you think so.

This age old question has dragged on through generations.By the way is Magic an Art or a CRAFT ?
This comment came from my friend RM from USA.

i feel that magic is like life and death, it dies with the last generation and is reborn with the next, so magic will truly never die, it will just keep being reborn.

okay, I am obsessive, go to Biography website, look up doug henning. according to them, henning got a grant from the canadian government to study magic, after convincing them that…cue drumroll, magic is an artform. I will allow for the word “performance” to precede art in discussing magic. but really, it isn’t an artform, then neither is any theatrical anything, play, dance or ballet or anything else. there i have had my rant.

Is magic dying?

Please give me a break.I have been a full time professional magician for 22 years now and didn’t use magic throughout some fancy university and at the end ended up doing something completely different like so many bloody semi professionals out there.

Magic was ,magic is and will always be a profession if the performer expects to make a living out of it.That’s what I did – and still doing-and will always do and my financial situation is very good thank you very much.

Come on boys if you say you love magic PROVE it -to yourselves-to the world.

Hi!The Sri Lanka Magic Circle was successful in convincing the government to accept Magic as a fine art and even got a block of land to put up our own club house under the guidance of our current Magic circle President. One main point we put forward was, if cricket, not being a native sport, can be given such recognition, why not for magic?
Wish Vijay can bring out the magic to win this case.
