I appreciate the feeling. Finding out how a trick is done quite literally takes away the magic.

But pretty much all magic tricks are like this. From the very simple to the extremely complex. The mechanics of a trick are only a small part of it. The story, presentation, emotional content and humour of a performance are even more important.

It's the difference between ballet and a high-jump. Both are physically impressive feats, but one is so much more than that.
