magic is doing illsusions!
the magic is, when people don't find out how you did it...!
it has always been like that... in former times, poeple just believed, it was another force or something..
however... with another force or not (like i think, cause i don't believe in forces like this
)
it is magic cause magic is illusionate (don't know if this word excists) other people!
as long as nobody of us can explain the trick it is magic... and as long as noone of us can explain it, it's just awesome!!!
the coin-trick may be easy... with a lot of practise and creativity everybody could do stuff like this.. but the salt-shaker-trick.. that's just great!!!
i don't think the restaurant was random.. but the people!!! in my opinion japanese poeple are easy to impress
