Best Witchcraft is Geometry 1
To the magician's mind－
His ordinary acts are feats
To thinking of mankind.
To the magician's mind－
His ordinary acts are feats

[1] Geometry:: the traces of the juggling balls in the air.
[2] mind:: traces of balls in the mind.
[3] ordinary acts:: seemingly easy gestures.
[4] feats, mankind:: human's way of thinking is like the balls' traces.
If all men were able to juggle cards and balls, only supreme excellence would command attention. ─ The Life of a Conjuror, The Eclectic Magazine (1859)
