      Unfortunately not! Magicians are actually really good Psychologists – they’re experts at manipulating where you look, to distract you from what they’re actually doing. As for Harry Potter style magic, I’m afraid that doesn’t exist either (although sometimes I wish it did).

      Hi cheese2000. Unfortunately there is no such thing as magic. But as Pete says, magicians are really good as making it look like they’re doing magic! But usually it’s something called “slight of hand” where they do things without you noticing.
