what makes markers magic?

According to the now defunct Magic Marker website: \n" In 1952, inventor Sidney Rosenthal developed and began marketing the first felt tip marking device. A chubby, squat glass bottle to hold ink with a wool felt wick and writing tip [this describes the unusual appearance of the first magic markers], Rosenthal named his new marking device Magic Marker because of its ability to mark on almost every surface...

Can someone explain to me the satisfaction gained in "proving" what is known to be untrue and can only be "proved" by disguising the deception involved. Is it the appeal of "Magic" conjuring tricks? \n\nDividing by zero is simply a sleight of hand which any half-educated person knows is not a legitimate move you can make. So all such "proofs" are at pains to disguise that is what they are doing. And once spotted, are revealed to be a hollow sham.\n\nTHIS DOESN'T SEEM A USEFUL WAY FOR ANYONE TO SPEND THEIR TIME, TO ME!

We humans, tend to love the mysterious paranormal phenomenas like an instinct, no one can deny the strange attraction to unsolved mysterious.\nHowever it takes one person out of ten to undertand the difference between stage performance and real Magic.\nYou are probablly reffering to the magic that is performed by great illusionists such as david copperfield and David Blaine.\nI was so curious to understand the concept based on vanishing something,and here is the result, please see this example of vanishing a A jumbo Jet performed by my favorite magician David Copperfield.\nThe vanishing of a 747 Jumbo Jet while it rests on the tarmac has become one of the most significant vanishes of all time. On many occasions this illusion has been performed before a live television audience, while a crowd of onlookers keep an eye on the real thing. It is not an illusion most magicians can afford to perform, still I\nwill explain the most common way of performing this trick.\nThe audience will see the jet as it taxis onto an area at the landing strip. The crew will park the plane and disembark. The audience, both viewing at home and on the scene, can see the airplane from all directions. Spotlights will be pointed at the plane, making it fully illuminated against the dark night. At the performer's command, the lights to flash off, then back on. When the lights are relit, the plane is gone. The spotlights are once\nagain pointed in the same direction as before, but there is no jet plane, only the tarmac and the night. The plane is then brought back in the same manner. The lights will flash off then on, and the plane is back. The crew boards the plane and taxis it back to the hangar.\nThe secret: I'm sure that you guessed it: The plane never really leaves the tarmac. But how is it made invisible? Many spotlights are surrounding the plane, which is in a cordoned-off area all set for the effect. Between the massive search lights and the audience, there is a\nnetting draped from light to light. Encircling the plane.\nWhen the plane is first driven or taxied into the area, the one opening between the searchlights is clear of the netting. Once the engines are shut off and the crew disembarks, the technicians will hook up this last piece of netting. This is done under the cover of preparing the these massive searchlights for illumination. The netting is the same which is used on stage productions. On the\nstage, the netting acts as backdrops for various scenes. With the proper lighting, the backdrops and scenes will change. When backlit, you will see the image on the netting, when front lit you will see right through it.\nIn the case of the jet plane, the huge searchlights are set in such a manner that at one point you see through the netting and you can easily see the plane. In the next setting, you only see the black of night, since this is the scene secretly painted on the special netting. Black is also the same colour of the tarmac, so it appears that the jet is gone and you see the ground where the plane once sat. When the jet is made to reappear, the netting is dropped to the floor while the lights are out. Turn the lights back on and the jet has returned. Positioning of the netting depends on the circumstances. If the audience is only in front of the plane, then only mask that part of the plane from the audience with the netting. For more angles, use more netting, surrounding the plane if necessary. Neither the human eye nor the camera will be able to see through the netting when the correct lighting is in effect. This netting not only is used in stage plays, but many of the modern magicians will use this effect on their shows and specials, it is a great way to make things appear or vanish. Vanishing of a statue such as the Statue of Liberty can be controlled in the same manner under the right conditions. When "Liberty" was under construction a few years back, it was completely surrounded with workmen scaffolding and platfor

Magic that magicians do is slight of hand or illusions.\nMagic(k) as is what witches do--is like asking if there is a God. Depends who you ask--some people are believers others are not.

Magic  is not true. magic is a form of trickery or sleight of hand and therefore by definition not true. Don't be fooled!! The thought that candles can tell you anything is just plain foolish.

My son just did one for 4th grade.  He used Optical Illusions and their perception among age groups.  It turned out really cool.  We copied optical illusions from library books and pasted them up.  Then he made a stop-motion animation move on his computer, and explained how he did it.  He also made flip-books. It was cool.

Yes, but not in the way that most people think it works.  The art of spell craft is really about enacting psychological prompts in people.  It's not about pouring a bunch of funky herbs into a pouch and bright lights from the sky and weird chants.  It's about symbolism and the reclaiming of personal power through intentional acts.  To cast a spell is to set something in motion, and people of all sorts do this all the time.  When a preacher delivers a sermon against the evils of drinking or gambling is casting a spell.  When an author writes a book to be sold around the world he is crafting something with intention.  When you choose to change a bad habit because you know it's better for you, you are performing a magical act.\n\nSo, yes.  Witchcraft really works, especially if you know what it really means.
