As someone who was crazy about magic as a kid and learned a bunch of magic tricks, yes, it does. Really.

Oh yeah, for magic “tricks” that’s fair:-).
You could still use it to cause squeals of delight from young’uns who don’t know any better yet. So the utility is vastly diminished, but not entirely gone.

As someone else who was crazy about magic as a kid, I feel like that just made magic even more magical. Having an understanding of how magic tricks work lets you really appreciate the art and be truly wowed when you see a trick you can’t figure out.

I still appreciate it, but the “magic” is gone. It becomes an intellectual and physical challenge once you understand the mechanics behind slight of hand and other forms of stage magic.

Yeah, for sure. To me, the intellectual and physical challenge is the magic.

What did you think of magic after you learned occultist techniques?
