I’ve always wondered what is Magic!?
BY ROBERTO SIRONI
O
fficially and for convenience it is said to be an alleged ability to dominate the forces of Nature through the use of occult arts of an evil nature!
In the history of man, magic has always played a predominant role, a role that has fascinated millions of people, from children to the elderly, from men to women, from the bad guys as well as the good ones... It is undeniable that this so-called “art,” because whatever it is about Art, has all the connotations, properties, and extensions of everything that can appear or be the meaning of mystery, the secret, the mysterious, the impenetrable! In this science of indecipherable philosophies and thoughts of all sorts live and coexist, infinite ways and opinions intersect to dominate the greatest of dilemmas: reality... The inexplicable is always the subject of grand visions and absolute convictions, the ‘one different from the other, sometimes even against each other; on the other hand, it’s all that we don’t know that attracts us, fascinates us, seduces us, magnetizes us and perhaps, affectionately persecutes us!
