Magiciansn are really clear about the fact that they are creating illusions orn doing tricks. Some people claimn that they are really doing magic, or that they have psychicn powers—when all they are doing is illusions and tricks.n Professional magicians such as the Amazing Randin are very important to debunking these fakes. n
