How would you write magicians? Would you describe their tricks? Would you reveal the tricks? Please do link any literature with magicians as characters.

Thank you :)

    The night circus by Erin morgenstern has my favorite descriptions of magic and magicians I’ve probably ever read. It’s very obscured and accurate descriptions. She explicitly tells the reader what’s happening but you don’t explain how or why while giving subtle nods and hints to things that might be going on.
