Now magic. Let's take [[Paul Harris]] piece "Headache" as example, as that is a favourite with me.

That magic can be considered art should be understood, as it is possible for someone with knowledge to see a magic effect he's never seen before, and without any hints, recognize the creator, based on the style and thinking which is integrated with the covert choreography in the piece. No matter who perform it, I can spot a [[Max Maven]]-creation anywhere. Or a [[Jim Steinmeyer]]-creation etc. When I was 18, someone performed "Headache" for me, and I immediately recognized it as a [[Paul Harris]]-piece. So I searched until I found a copy of his manuscript, because I wanted to perform it myself. That's the polite and honourable way to do it, besides, I wanted to be sure that the one who performed it for me hadn't misunderstood some subtle nuance. Of course, I could have just taken it, how should heHarris find out about that, with him in USA and me in Sweden on the other side of the world? But I had the dream of meeting him, and get noticed.. Anyway.. this is what his creation is about.

Paul Harris had made a discovery. An oddity in the printing on one of the cards in a standard deck. That discovery can't be patented or copyrighted.
