In this world, there are various style of magic. Each magic has their own history and thoery constructed by their study about nature. And their forms are so different from one to another.

But there is a absolute principle which is common to those magics of all over the world. Its EXTREME CONCENTRATION AND IMAGINATION.

Both are indispensable. But the concentration is the base of all magic. So, every magicians train their concentration at first before starting their esoteric tecnic. There are varios form of training which enhance the mental concentration. But, I want to give you the most popular exercise for Taoist. Needless to say, not only for Taoism, but also,this exercise is very effective for every magic or spell.

1. Mark a circle of 1mm diameter on the wall(the Wall should be one color.white is the best)

2.Sit or stand(Comfortable way is recommended) 3m far from that circle.

3.Gaze at the circle at least 30minutes without thinking anything.

Of course, at first, you cant even keep on looking at it 3 minutes without thinking anything. But gradualy,you will get looking at it without any thought longer and longer. Then you will see any ilusion like moving the circle or changing the color of the wall…etc. But, you must keep on looking at it ignoring these phenomenon. And Finaly,you will end up with seeing that circle 30cm of diameter! Some people take months to reach that level and other take about a year. But soon or later, you will reach at that level. If you dont give up and keep on doing it everyday….

Once you reach at this level, you have 80% enough to be a magician.

If one of you guys reach this level, let me know. I will give you the next training.
