“Magic” is an ancient word, derived from “mageia.” Persian priests, “magosh,” were the first to perform magic tricks. The magician’s jargon “abracadabra” means “I will create as I speak.” It’s Hebrew.
We have two cultures to thank for this amazing, slight-of-hand art!
I’m pleased to announce the release of my 8th book, Skoll’s Diary.
Africans and African Americans left Earth in 1900, and went to another planet in The Milky Way to escape mistreatment…
It’s now the year 3005 on that terraformed planet. We get a peek into the life of a bright and sensitive teenaged boy, Skoll, through his journal. He loves his world, but is curious about life on Earth. Then suddenly, an epic event casts him in the middle of a difficult decision. The fate of the planet’s community is in his hands.
Get the book here. I’d appreciate your leaving a review if you read it. Thanks in advance!

I didn’t know that was Hebrew. I do love good sleight-of-hand magic.
