Question:

Magicians...when you do "magic tricks"...do you feel that you are ..?

doing really a great illusion...I mean..does it actually feel like an illusion to you...when you are doing the tricks?
not just from the audiences reactions..I would like to know how it feels to be a magician on stage doing these things!
also tell why it is worth the job of doing it, besides the reactions of others!

thanks!
