Magic is not only an art of conjuring by itself, but it is a great social tool for connecting with people. Through performing magic tricks, you get to interact with people and to know them more than what you normally get to know about them.
We were all amazed once by magic when we were children. Whenever we are amazed by a magic trick again as adults, it appeals to the child that is in all of us, triggering those naive yet innocent feelings we once felt as children. Those of us who still have very much of the child in us would be very amused when we see a magic performance and may even react just like children.
In my attempt to bamboozle my colleagues at the office, I've gone from table to table performing magic tricks to them. As I approach different people, I learned much about each person. As adults, we tend to be too rational and so some people react to my performance with suspicions, always trying to challenge me by figuring out how my tricks work. Such people merely kill the entertainment by trying to figure out too much. Some are too intelligent for their own good and think to themselves that nothing can fool them. However, the people they ever fooled were themselves. They thought they could figure out any magic tricks with their superficial presumptions but they were all wrong.
For the more objective audience, they too try to figure the tricks but were really amazed when they found the effects of the tricks were too amazing beyond their comprehension. They will stop pretending to be "Mr. Know-all" when they realized that it is beyond their comprehension. The most appealing audiences I had were those who reacted like little children when they experienced a magical effect. There was a well educated lady in her fifties I encountered who snapped her fingers at my card just like I did, actually expecting to reproduce the same magical effect that I had just produced before her. I was so amused by her child-like innocence that not only was she entertained by so was I.
Some people use magic to impress women. It is common that whenever I show some magic tricks to people, I would get this remark, "Why do you learn magic? Is it to impress women?" I find these people shallow and not to mention that I find their remarks offending. Nevertheless, it is true that people do use magic to impress women. There are so-called magicians out there who offer to teach magic to people so that they could impress women with the magic they learn. But of course that is a lie that these so-called magicians who would like to propagate just so that they could sell their trades of teaching amateurish magic tricks. If you are only using magic to impress women, you would eventually resort to only learning a small handful of magic tricks. And for these people, I would suggest that they might as well just keep a few gimmicks in their pockets. The art of performing magic is too vast and profound for these people to invest their time, effort and money into learning magic.
It is a lie that all women are amazed with magic. In my experience of performing magic to my friends and colleagues, I have encountered many women who are simply bad audience for magic. However I do not dismiss the fact that performing magic can enhance interaction and even create attraction from women if executed well.
