Alright so few weeks ago I saw the movie "The Prestige"...well the movie is all about magic but I was very disappointed when at the end there was no real magic it was all about science...well it got me thinking as to why do we like magic so much??

So, here is my question:

Why do we humans like magic so much?Why do want supernatural things to be true (well atleast I do)??

Why do we go see magic shows and magicians when we know it is not real magic?

As a kid everyone wanted to be a superman or batman or spiderman (or for me I wanted to be the jeanie from the bottle😆)? We all want those powers but why is magic so important?

***I know this might be a really stupid question but try answering it anyways***

Because they feel magic can fulfill their every need and want. They feel magic can do what they cant.

Why do we go see magic shows and magicians when we know it is not real magic?
Because we are amazed by it. These shows shock and suprise us.

Because we want to be famous as a child and when we grow up we want magic to make our dreams and wishes come true.
