Magic is known to bring smiles to faces and wonder to the mind. Not to mention, magic can make for great television.
For example, “The Carbonaro Effect” and “Penn and Teller: Fool Us” are just two of the more popular American magic shows available on television. But both those shows, and the mainstream magic industry more broadly, lack diversity.

But yes, there is a science where one can use their energies negatively to cause harm to somebody else. What is the protection? One thing is, if you are on spiritual sadhana, you need not bother about all those things. You need not even think about those things. Another way is, you can wear certain protections like a rudraksha , which is like protection against any kind of negativity. But you need not worry about such things. Just keep your focus in life and keep going. If you are in sadhana, you just don’t bother; it will be taken care of.

Reviews for "Behind the Mask: Getting to Know the Person Inside UW's Mascot"
1. Karen - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed by Uw husky mascot Harry. First of all, his costume looked worn out and dirty. The material was flimsy and the colors were faded. Additionally, Harry's performance was lackluster. He seemed disinterested and didn't engage with the crowd. Overall, I expected more from a mascot that represents such a prestigious university.
2. John - 1/5 stars - Uw husky mascot Harry was absolutely terrible. The costume was poorly designed and looked nothing like a husky. It was more like a generic dog costume you could find at a dollar store. Moreover, Harry didn't have any energy or enthusiasm. He just stood there, barely moving or interacting with the fans. It was a total disappointment and a waste of my time.
3. Lisa - 2/5 stars - I have seen many mascots over the years, but Uw husky mascot Harry was one of the worst. The costume was shabby and didn't even fit properly. It looked like it was made for a person of a different size. Furthermore, Harry's movements were clumsy and awkward. He couldn't execute any tricks or stunts properly. It was quite embarrassing to watch. I hope they can find a better mascot in the future.
4. Mike - 3/5 stars - While Uw husky mascot Harry was not the best mascot I have seen, he was not the worst either. The costume could have been better, but it was passable. Harry had some interactions with the crowd, but it felt forced and lacked authenticity. Overall, he did an okay job, but there's definitely room for improvement.
