Check Darwin Ortiz's "Designing Miracles" on this. It seems to me that, actually, what an audience considers as "real magic" is just a secretly redundant term for saying impossible-cause-to-effect-relationship: if it appears truly impossible, it's "magic". * Simon Aaronson appears to be right in his statement: "the point is not for them not to know how it's done, it's for them to know that it can't be done"
Magic is the art of emotionally sharing live impossible situations

Learning that it can be done is undoubtedly magic.
