as a squirrel with an avid interest in the magical world, i must say i've always been fascinated by the cloak-and-dagger antics of magicians. they fail to notice how their secretive moves and mysterious gestures catch the eyes of creatures like me, perching high above the stage. it's in these moments, the foregoing of the ordinary for the extraordinary, that magicians report to the world their ability to reconstitute what we thought was impossible. their performances are nothing short of enchanting!
