Reminds me of the Teller (from Penn & Teller) quote: "Sometimes magic is just someone spending more time on something than anyone else might reasonably expect."

Also like the story:

> A fellow got backstage after the violin maestro's performance. "That was amazing", he gushed! I would give half my life to be able to play as well as you do! The violinist looked at him and nodded. "Yes, that is about what it took!"

> might reasonably expect

That part made me laugh too hard.

I am stealing that quote now, though. It's so true - think of the effortlessness with which a musician does what they do. It's more or less magic. Same thing with most things.
