What does “Abracadabra”, “Hocus-Pocus”, and “Mumbo Jumbo” mean? A fancy way of using words? Or some way of rhyming? The truth is, it actually means: Nonsense! Well, not entirely, it's sort of a mix of words, magicians use in magic tricks, or at least the cartoons do.

So what's magic, and how is it done? Magic can come in many forms, but it's kind of illusion, which means something we think is happening, but isn’t really there. Since it comes in different forms, magic can have different “behind the scenes” secrets, so some are easy, some hard.

One of the most famous and mysterious, is the “Sawing Someone In Half” trick, then showing that the volunteer is still ALIVE! How it's done, is that two assistants crouch, showing certain body parts, so that one human is exposed, and then, saw him or her will be easy!
