There is an old magic language called nonsense, which requires no interpretation because it doesn't exist and yet it exists!

Then again, there was a time where language itself was magic - allowing for impossible outcomes.
"Nonsense" is never magic- but taking someone out of their stilted perceptions can be.

So, a skit like this can result in a magical result even if not "of magic" itself.
Just another way of saying that magic comes form the observer - not he performer.

If magic is the world of dreams, then it is conjured up with a wonderful science.
