Magic
'Magic is action, mysticism is a withdrawal from action and religion is letting others take action for you.’
- my version of a quote by Kenneth Anger.
Magic of Maps
In the past in China the ownership of a map was intimately associated with ownership of the actual land. When landownership changed there is often a ritual exchanging of the maps.
Magic of TV
One of the magical elements of television and movies: that we can stare at the person on the screen for a long time, without annoying them or embarrassing ourselves. That basic aspect of the medium is partly what creates the magic and the romance of it.
