Magic as a social tool.

[TommySteal]

Many years ago I used to study "art". Nothing specific, just a general course if you like, and if one so wished they could then go on to specialize in one or two areas. I'm not saying I am qualified to talk about art (actually I'm not because I never did complete the course, to gain that certificate) - but I have thought a lot about what "art" is.

Oscar Wilde once said something like "However someone wishes to express themselves, and at the same time being completely honest and open with themselves, then in doing just that they are creating "art". Does this mean that not "only" a thing of beauty should be looked at as art, but also the grotesque?

I like this idea, but with it in mind, I'm not sure Marcos about what you mean when you say "from using magic as a social tool, you are now developing it into an art form". Perhaps the meeting of new people by using magic as a social tool is already art?
