It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth.

TalkMagic
We have been magicians for the last 20 years. When you see a magician perform, you are seeing a finished product; what people don’t realise is that being a magician requires acquiring a hugely diverse set of skills.
Everything we do, however, involves developing resilience, whether we’re feeling resilient or not.
