Magic to me means life. For me, the two words can be interchanged, my life is magic and magic is my life. Magic to me is creating (and I am going to use examples from Paul Harris's Astonishment essay in AOA) a moment of pure astonishment where the spectator, for a brief moment, feels like a child again- perceiving everything going on around them, but constantly making new "filing cabinets" for things they have never before experienced or knew could happen.
...That's what magic means to me.
Good luck in your pursue of magic,
