Magic is strange: Science can not explain it because magic has no rules at all. This situation is most often applied to wild magic (magic freed by wizard but uncontrolled) and Theurgy (sacred decision to cast spells). This concept is logically not derived from the learning magic but it is based on information. Magic is an ideology: Magic and science are doing very well, but magicians and scientists can not support each other. Small competition and arrogance will cause everyone on both sides to focus on their field and completely ignore each other. This type of confrontation can sometimes take more subtle forms, magicians want to keep knowledge secret, scientists want to share it with anyone, which side can more sympathize with the author (or reader / spectator) Things depend on whether or not people believe they do not know

One of his earliest books, mathematics, magic, and mystery is about mathematics-based magic tricks. From 1998 to 2002 he wrote a monthly column on magic technique for the magazine "Physics Teacher" published by the American Physical Teachers Association. It was named "Monthly Trick". In 1999, Magazine magazine named Gardner "One of the 100 most influential magicians in the 20th century" and in 2005 received the "Lifetime Achievement Award" from Magic Arts School.

Moss explained the concept of his "magic" in the article "General Theory of Magic" in 1902. Moss uses the term "magic" to refer to "every ritual that is not an organizational cult: private, secret, mysterious, and ultimately forbidden ritual". Instead, he combined religion with an organizational cult. By saying that magic is inherently nonsocial, Moss is influenced by the understanding of the traditional Christian in concept. Moss deliberately rejected the rationalist approach proposed by Fraser and claimed that it is inappropriate to limit the word magic to sympathy magic as Fraser did. He said, "Not only is the magic ceremony different, empathy is not magical privilege, because religion has sympathy."
