That's a very good point, Alfred!
Certainly, a witty and nice observation.

as is becoming the custom, you talk for yourself without even answering what I said; you only talk about what suits you besides confusing our conversation topic, instead of being clair and easy:
- Your point is to show magic as possible.
- Mine is to show magic as impossible.
-By means of your point, you are not expressing MAGIC, but a BRAIN GAME; a total misunderstanding of the Art of Magic.
- By means of my point, I pretend consider magic as IT IS; fantastic; not real. So that,
magicians DO WHAT CAN'T BE DONE; a perfect paradox.
That's it. Easy.
But you are too obsessively busy in criticise my paradox definition. Actually, our entire conversation has being focused just on you saying that it's not a paradox, just to bother me, because is the only clear thing you say.
By the way, the definition of paradox fits what I say. I don't understad what do you mean about that (again trying to confuse me).
And the following is the definition of magic according to Cambridge Dictionary:
Magic: The use of special powers to make things happen that would usually be impossible, such a in stories for children.
Do you see the word "apparent"?

PavelTheGreat wrote:Your argument fails because you base it on misconstruction of language. I confess that I am "obsessed" with this problem, because I think it is root cause of many mistakes.
PavelTheGreat wrote:You think people are amazed when you say, "Look, I do the impossible!'
PavelTheGreat wrote:This is misinformation, you are stunning people with implication that Impossible is possible but still impossible.
PavelTheGreat wrote:It is not so much the act that astonishes, but the wonder of how this nonsense can be true.
