Deep Overstock Issue 14: Magic

Magic is the impossible. Whether it's a coin appearing from behind the ear, a rabbit disappearing into a hat, or a double rainbow across the sky, magic is what we wish could happen. It's a suspension of disbelief to just enjoy the moment for what it is. It's hope. And we could all use some hope and magic in our lives now.

This issue, the pieces are divided into the three parts of a magic trick as named by Christopher Priest in The Prestige: The Pledge, The Turn, and The Prestige. Contributors have taken on illusions, magicians, heroes and villeins, life and death, but the constant remains that these pieces promise and deliver on impossibilities that can only be described as magic.
