Or in the words of stage magician Jeff "Magnus" McBride, "All magic is 100% bullshit—and it works 100% of the time."

Sometimes, we have to make our own magic... and often, it's a complete accident that it works at all...
... but sometimes, the universe does smile down on us, and feeds us the perfect non-seqvitor feed-line for that joke punchline that you've been mulling over in your head... and you say it with perfect timing...
... and decades later, it's still one of your fondest memories...
... and the other nonseqvited individual that just happened to be there has likely has never given it a second thought.
I know not why.
