Magick and Timing

"Some days, magick is having enough experience to read the patterns around you so that you can put yourself in the right place at the right time. When you follow a master magician around, you start to notice that the Universe seems to order itself in front of them, "magickally." But it's not occult. It's entirely practical. When you know the sky well enough to read the weather days ahead of time, pulling an umbrella out of nowhere appears like magick to others, but simply seemed like prudent planning to the magician."

Not really. Just being able to see the way things are going and arranging to point in such a way as to give the impression that I directed it. :)
