Can magicians actually make something appear out of thin air?
No. Magicians no not actually make something appear out of thin air. They distract you one way or make you pay attention to one thing while they are actually doing something different. If they could actually make something appear out of thin air, they would not need to charge admission for you to see their act. They would simply pull gold coins out of thin air and sell them. They would pull diamond rings out of thin air and sell them. They would pull tomorrows paper listing lottery winning numbers out of thin air.
