An article on urban rivers talks about using "carefully positioned blocks of stone as a way to improve the River Quaggy in London in the area where it is constrained between buildings."
This sounds boring, pedestrian and hardly in keeping with an attempt to do something "magical" which is what they are trying to do with this river.
But Magic itself is built on boring blocks. To perform classical stage magic requires flawless execution of what are each in isolation boring steps. Lots of practice is required to get each step perfected.
Does knowing this about stage magic eliminate it's value? I don't think so.
Deeper levels of magic are revealed. Simple well executed things can produce magical results.
