“A magician creates magic and mesmerizes the audience. But it is a pantomime, and the audience knows that it’s a ruse. It’s in the name: a “magic trick”. They play along when the magician tugs his sleeves to show there is nothing hidden within them, or that the top hat is empty of a rabbit, or eggs, or flowers. Beneath the façade there is only sleight of hand, wires and contraptions, misdirection at a key moment. “But what the audience does not realize is that it’s not always trickery. Or at least, not quite.”

“Like a bolt from the blue love rises, Suddenly one finds a mirror. The beauty you find in the other, Is what you hold in your innermost corner. Suddenly we lose our voice, To speak in love is blasphemy. Declare your love without saying a word, Either be an orator or lover on knees. If they don't hear your silence, Words won't do you any good. Listen to the silence beyond the words, And you shall hear the divine tune.”
