‘So what’s magic, then?’ asked Abigail. ‘We don’t know,’ I said. ‘It’s not any form of electromagnetic radiation. That I do know.’ ‘Maybe it’s brainwaves,’ said Abigail. ‘Probably not,’ I said. ‘Because that would be electrochemical and it would still have to involve some kind of physical manifestation if it was going to be projected out of your head.’ So just chalk it up to pixie dust or quantum entanglement, which was the same thing as pixie dust except with the word quantum in it.
