Then there's the other side of the coin....Some people would rather not know how a certain piece of magic is performed. What was once imbued with the wonder and awe that only a child through innocent and untainted faculties can inspire, now becomes subject to careful and deliberate observation, scrutinized through lenses ground down to the consistency of diminished thirds and flatted fifths, and eligible for the pronouncement, "Hey, he's only playing 'G', 'C', and 'D'". The Easter Bunny becomes involved in some horrifically sinister animal experiment, the Tooth Fairy is found murdered in a back alley behind a squalid crack house, and Santa Claus dies of congestive heart failure - all with the help of willing accomplices.
