Do magicians around the globe use the same handbook or channel the same deity? If not, why do they all perform very similar tricks?

I mean, they are basically the same tricks. Putting items (both cases, they are fruits) inside another fruit.

You're not really a Quaker, are you.

i need to give these 'controversies' some serious thought

Seriously? Magic is like sit-com story lines or Peter Pan remakes. There are only so many and you have to reuse the same old tired stuff.

You will find if you simply drink more, a lot more, even sit-coms will be funny again.

Well. Pulling a bunny out of a hat is popular with just about everyone I guess.

They are definitely channeling the same deity. It couldn't possibly be because they are copying each other.

I know, right!!!

Seriously now, unless their audiences are actors involved in the trick, there is no way they can do that without other supernatural help.
