“What the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind believes. —Harry Houdini
The mind is a complex instrument that is capable of processing thought, recalling memories and inducing dreams. We see and hear things that require reasoning and interpretation. That mechanism sometimes short circuits and the results are ambiguous.
The Loving Spoonful in their ‘60’s song asked, “Do You Believe in Magic?” We like to believe that magic still happens, but it will only transpire if people are able to see beyond illusion and find truth in the eyes of that elusive rabbit popping out of a magician’s hat.
