There is no such things as magic, though there is such a thing as knowledge of the hidden ways of Nature.

Magic's just science that we don't understand yet.

Science, you don't know, looks like magic.

We'll have a magician who teaches the magic tricks and shows how they involve science.

Glendower: I can call the spirits from the vasty deep.
Hotspur: Why, so can I, or so can any man;
But will they come, when you do call for them?

I think that old magic draws much of its strength from that acknowledgment: that we are a part of that world.
