Magic is an honest job because we pay to see deception and that's what we get. Magic is defined as deception. Failure because one win can get rid of the thought of failure. This relates to what we study because the other religions try to deceive us to think that their religion is right. Yes its worth watching it kept me interested until it went off.
ReplyDeleteMagic is an honest profession because it promises to deceive us and it fulfill its promise. Art is the greatest self-deception because its illusion of movement. Definition of Magic in the video was when we give in to deception of art;it becomes magic. The video applies to our studies about biblical worldview because in the world, we have various institutions, organizations, governments, and religions that deceive in order to get something, but the Lord is not a man that he should lie nor does he change his mind like a man. He keeps his promises and He is a holy,righteous, and jealous God. This video was worth watching, because it made my mind wonder how did the magician do this illusions with technology.
ReplyDeletemagic is an honest profession because we pay to see deception, and it promises to deceive us, and it does that at the end.
ReplyDeleteArt is called the greatest self deception, because it is an illusion of movements. magic in the video mean when we give inti deception of art. this reflects to what we study in class about biblical worldview by saying that most people don't really know what magic is, and others might say differently about what this person said, and at the end we all choose to believe in what we want, even if we don't know the reality of it, of if we just don't want to believe in it. This video was worth seeing, because it made sense and went into like the way we get caught into magic easily. It also made me realize about different things that might be like that.
