WHY IS MAGIC SO POPULAR?

These days magic seems to be everywhere! On television there are the specials of Criss Angel, David Blaine and David Copperfield. In books there is the enormous popularity of the Harry Potter series. And in the movies there is the Prestige, Lord of the Rings and the Illusionist.

More than ever before, people of all ages and cultures are discovering this fun and fascinating performance art.

As a result, many of the old clichés about magic are quickly fading away. The tired image of the magician wearing a top hat telling corny jokes is being replaced with a whole new generation of magic enthusiasts who feel comfortable to just BE THEMSELVES when they share their magic.

And whether you are an amateur or a professional, magic is a marvelous way to express yourself.

In fact, at Sankey Magic we think of magic (especially street magic) as the "ultimate hobby" because...

1. Magic is fun to share.

2. Magic is easy to learn.

3. You can practice and perform magic anywhere.

4. Magic doesn't take up much room in your back pack, brief case or purse.

With all that going for it, no wonder street magic is more popular than ever!
