Magic
Magic is a sacred art that is not to be written off as a puzzle, game, or hobby. Though it may only be a hobby for some, Magic is a magnificent art in which the secrets should only be shared with the true Magician. So what is a "True Magician"? The true magician understands why secrets behind magic exist. The true magician will always respect these secrets. Besides, if everyone knew how all the tricks were done, then there would be no magic.
What is S.A.M?
