A Magic.

A magic you wouldn’t know that it ever existed. If you knew that it existed, then you would simply avoid it.

Magic is known to make people laugh or to surprise them, but if magic surprises you beyond expectation then, be aware that such magic should be avoided.

If you practice magic then perform it to make people happy, not to make people sorry for watching it.

Adios!
