Do You Believe in Magic?

Today’s Wonder of the Day was inspired by gimmy. gimmy Wonders, “Is there still magic in the world?” Thanks for WONDERing with us, gimmy!

Have you ever watched a performer pull a rabbit out of a hat? Or seen someone seem to disappear out of thin air? Abracadabra! Hocus Pocus! Join the Wonder team as we explore today’s subject—magic!

The Greek term “magoi” is the historic root word for magic. It referred to a tribe in Persia who practiced the religion of Zoroastrianism. In the past, magic existed where technology , science, and spirituality did not agree.

Those who practice magic go by many names: magician, wizard, sorcerer, shaman, witch, and more! There are several types of magic, including illusion , alchemy, witchcraft, divination, and astrology. Magic linked to evil or harmful forces is called black. White magic protects.

Two related forms of magic are alchemy and astrology. Both seek to understand the power of the stars and how they affect the Earth and people. Those who practice alchemy believe they can change base metals like copper and lead into more precious ones, like silver and gold. They look to the stars for their power. Astrologers believe they can read the position of the stars and planets to see the future. “Seeing” the future, or divination, can also be done with crystals, Tarot cards, or tea leaves!

One of the most popular forms of magic in today’s culture might be witchcraft. Many books, movies, and TV and streaming shows feature witches, wizards, and sorcerers. Those who practice witchcraft use their powers to change people and the environment. In some cultures, witches are born with their abilities. Others believe anyone can become a witch. Spells, potions, dolls, chants, and oracles are all tools of witchcraft. Witches sometimes practice their craft after dark and people fear them because of their association with evil.

Vodou is also a well-known form of magic. Its roots are a religion from the African country of Benin. The belief that everything has a spirit merged with Catholic beliefs when Benin enslaved people were brought to Haiti.

Vodou priests and priestesses practice rites that ask spirits for health and protection. The rites usually involve dance, song, and drumming. Family members inherit Vodou powers. In some cities like New Orleans, people can buy Vodou dolls and visit sites linked to Vodou history.

You may enjoy practicing the type of magic known as illusion . Have you ever played a card trick on someone? Pulled a coin from someone’s ear? Those are a few types of tricks people may learn when they first become interested in magic. There have been famous magicians who created illusions like making the Statue of Liberty disappear .

Many well-known illusion magic tricks are called “sleight of hand.” This means that the performer has practiced the trick enough to convince people up-close that the illusion is real. The next time you watch a magician perform a trick, pay close attention!

What do you think about magic? Do you like stories that contain magic? Maybe you practice illusion . What about other types of magic?

Do You Believe In Magic? Trivia Quiz

1. Magic, it seemed, had disappeared from the world until the first birth of a mystical flying creature in over a century heralded a new dawn. From the picture of an iconic location in this world, which TV show told the story of feuding families in 73 episodes over eight seasons?

Answer: Game of Thrones

That is a photograph of an actual place that you can visit: the dark hedges near Armoy in Co Antrim, Northern Ireland.

In the 18th century, an important family of local landowners planted rows of beech trees on ether side of the approach to their home. They matured into the majestic attracting of today. In the Game of Thrones" TV show, the trees are used as an atmospheric approach tunnel.

The TV show was based on the long-running book series by George R.R. Martin. Much of the production, including the famous battle scenes, was shot in Northern Ireland. It aired between 2011 and 2019.

It has been claimed that GOT was broadcast in 199 countries worldwide, with more than 18.4m viewers. The production is also estimated to have added �148 million to the economy of Northern Ireland.

2. From the image, can you guess the name of a popular 1960s TV show that featured a housewife with a magical secret?

Answer: Bewitched

Elizabeth Montgomery played Samantha Stevens, a seemingly normal middle class housewife, but one with a secret: she was a witch. She was married to an advertising executive, initially played by Dick York, although he was replaced by Dick Sergant in season six.

Samantha was a good witch, who could cast a spell with the twitch of her nose. Witchcraft was an intergenerational thing, not only was Samantha's mother a witch, but her daughter was one too.

In 2005, Will Ferrell and Nicole Kidman starred in a movie about an actor trying out for a role in the revival of a television show. "Bewitched". The critics cannot be accused of being overkind.

3. This image represents a prop used by many stage magicians. What would you normally see them produce using it?

Answer: White rabbit

This is not to say that none of the wrong answers have never been produced from a top hat - we are talking magicians here, after all.

The white rabbit is the animal most associated with the top hat, although white doves were also popular, as well as yards and yards of brightly coloured ribbon.

The first to pull a rabbit from a hat is thought to be the Scottish magician John Henry Anderson (1814-1874) in the mid 1800s. During a tour of America, he pioneered a trick in which he caught a bullet fired from a gun held by a member of the audience on his mouth.

4. The adventures of an orphan boy who went to magic school and became a powerful wizard have been enjoyed the world over in books and on the silver screen. From the image of his pet, can you guess who he was?

Answer: Harry Potter

Harry Potter was the subject of books and movies that made the author J. K. Rowling a multi-millionaire.

The orphan boy was swept from his suburban home to a school for magic where he encountered many like-minded people, and had a great many adventures. (He also had a pet snowy owl, Hedwig.)

I am not going to give any more spoilers in case there possibly might be one or two people somewhere on planet earth who has not read an HP book or seen one of the movies.

5. Which renowned magician/entertainer/escapologist would you mostly associate with the objects in the image?

Answer: Harry Houdini

Born Erich Weisz on March 24, 1874, in Budapest, Hungary, Harry Houdini moved at a young age with his family to the USA, living firstly in Wisconsin and then settling in New York City.

His career as a magician began in 1894 using his adopted name. Soon audiences began to appreciate his feats of escapology more than his magic.

Quite often these involved him being chained up; trapped in barrels and trunks; or submerged underwater.

He became probably the most famous escapologist of his era and he toured extensively in the USA and Europe.

This brought him great wealth and he indulged in a passion for flying. Houdini also starred in several early movies.

Some uncertainty surrounds the circumstance of his death at the age of 52 in October 1936.

The cause was given as peritonitis from a ruptured appendix. Some say that came about when he challenged a student to punch him hard in the stomach and the student did so before Houdini could set his stomach muscles. It is also claimed he was poisoned by by spiritualists angry at his denouncement of psychic mediums - a general group he believed to be fraudulent.

6. Look at the creature in the photo. Isn't it a beauty? Which magic duo incorporated animals like this into their stage show?

Answer: Siegfried & Roy

Roy Horn and Siegfried Fischbacher were involved in a 35-year residency in Las Vegas until Horn was mauled by a tiger on stage in 2003.

Their act involved live animals such as lions, elephants, and white (Bengal) tigers.

In a typical routine they would make an elephant disappear or a tiger turn into a beautiful woman.

Both Roy Horn and Siegfried Fischbacher were born in Germany. They first met by chance while working on a cruise ship in 1957. Fischbacher was entertaining passengers with his magic tricks; Horn was a cabin boy.

Their career together built slowly util it was championed by Princess Grace of Monaco in the mid 1960s.

Their career in Las Vegas began in 1990 at the newly built Mirage casino hotel.

Horn died during the Covid-19 Pandemic in May 2020, at the age of 75.

7. Is this your card? This image suggests a popular routine used by many magicians. What is the proper name for the art employed by people adept in these arts?

Answer: Legerdemain

Who said all the questions have to be easy?

"Sleight of hand" is one of the most obvious synonyms.

Card tricks are the bread and butter of many a magician's act. Their aim is to ask a volunteer from the audience to pick a card and then produce it after a complicated process.

All the words used here have French origins, even if some are more obscure than others.

8. Down through the centuries, kings and other rulers have been entertained by jousters, musicians and magicians. Who was this sorceress and shapeshifter who learnt her magic from Merlin at the court of King Arthur?

Answer: Morgan Le Fey

Okay, allow a little artistic licence in claiming Arthur to be a king who actually ruled. The myth and legend remain strong.

The image was by the English painter Frederick Sandys and was produced by him in about 1864. Morgan Le Fay was, legend tells us, a sorceress and the half-sister of King Arthur. The painter used a model he met in a gypsy camp in Rome.

The painting is on display at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.

9. He was an orphan kitchen boy who served an apprenticeship to a magician before becoming the most powerful magician in the world of Midkemia. The image should give you a clue to his name. Who was he?

Answer: Pug of Crydee

Pug's early story of being found as an orphan by the roadside; raised in a castle kitchen; adopted by the lord; and then apprenticed to a magician, began in the book "Magician" in 1982 and ran through to "Magician"s End", 2013.

In between, Pug made appearance in around 24 books by Feist and collaborators.

"There is no magic, only tricks," was something that another of the magicians in Feist's stories - Nakor - frequently said in order to hide just how powerful he was.

10. This image should give you a clue to guessing the identity of an Israel-born magician and illusionist. Which of these was it?

Answer: Uri Geller

Uri Geller's speciality was in bending spoons simply using the power of his mind.

Geller was born in Israel in 1946 and established a career built on his ability with spoons, keys and other metal objects.

Many people have spoken and written skeptically about Geller's career.

Television made him famous and he often performed in close-up action.

In 1973 his reputation suffered a devastating blow on "The Johnny Carson Show". Carson was an amateur magician and he produced a number of spoons that Geller had no prior access to and was unable to bend. (Of course you have worked out he used sleight-of-hand to physically weaken spoons and keys in advance of his 'mind bending'.)

Overall, I feel like the quiz didn't accurately assess my magical potential and left me feeling unsatisfied.

2. John - 1/5 - This quiz was a complete waste of time. The questions were so basic and generic that anyone could easily guess the right answer without having any kind of magical ability.

I wouldn't recommend this quiz to anyone who is genuinely interested in discovering their magical potential.

4. Michael - 2/5 - As someone who has studied and practiced magic for years, I was excited to test my "magical potential" with this quiz. Unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations.
