IX. Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the

Magic is a very old form of entertainment that started thousands of years ago in ancient places like Egypt,
Greece, and China. Performed by talented magicians, magic tricks create amazing effects by “tricking” the
minds of the audience, making them believe in things that seem impossible.
Magicians use clever techniques and a deep understanding of psychology to fool the audience’s senses. These
skills include quick hand movements, secret props, and ways to distract the viewer. Because of this, some
people ask: Is magic a kind of trickery?
In reality, magic is not like scams that trick people in a negative way. In magic, the audience knows they will be
“tricked” as part of a fun show. This “trickery” is meant to bring joy, surprise, and curiosity to the viewers.
Magicians don’t try to hide their purpose; instead, they use their talents to create a unique experience.
Unlike scams, which use lies to gain money or take advantage of people, magic is a type of playful trickery. The
audience is ready to be “fooled” and often enjoys the surprises that come with it.
Overall, magic is a special kind of art where “trickery” becomes part of creativity and fun. Even though some
people may feel puzzled when they can’t explain the magic tricks, most understand that it’s a harmless mind
game. Instead of being a scam, magic is an art form that needs creativity, skill, and passion from the magician.
