- DISAPPEAR

- Spangram: Its magic
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 2 tips
I found today’s search incredibly hard. And it was despite the fact that the very first word I saw on the board was magic (it took me a little longer to spot his magic).
Ever since Penn & Teller and recently David Blaine, magic has changed from pure wonder to curiosity about how a trick is done – we are far less likely to accept that a supernatural power is at play than previous generations or to accepting the mystery.
Because of this, I struggled to think of any words that could be connected to magic. And when I took a tip and the letters were highlighted, I struggled to find words within the twists. Had strings made them disappear somehow?
