Magic

A Fantastic Comedy

by Gilbert Keith Chesterton

  • First published: Date unknown
  • Language: English

"Magic" by G. K. Chesterton is a comedy play written in 1913. The story centers on a conjurer whose tricks spark conflict between belief and rationalism. When a young woman insists his magic is real and her skeptical brother cannot explain the illusions, the brother descends into madness. A duke, doctor, and priest must persuade the conjurer to reveal his secrets to restore sanity. This fantastical comedy explores truth, faith, and the boundaries between illusion and reality.
