What is often ignored or overlooked by academics is the vast amount of occult and magical references in Shakespeare's plays and poetry to the art of astrology, alchemy and magic. Qudos Academy examines in detail the "Bard's" interest in Neo-Platonic Symbolism from the time.

You see, as I’ve been waiting on the love of my life

Waiting so we can walk off into paradise

Thinking I was in love

Once, maybe twice before

Now I know betta

But not before I hit up not bae

Before the love of my life comes

Knocking on my door

One last time, before we have to say goodbye

Let me ...

I drink the elixir of your words

to calm my nerves,

A freshers' conference is wild

Or used to be in olden times

Before masks and distancing

secret desires of your soul.

You must be using

disappearing ink!

Your words flow 
though my veins 
and light up my soul 
like nothing 
I've ever known.
Chemical alchemy.
Cosmic destiny.
Beyond comprehension.
From another dimension.
Steam. My dopamine.

It seems that the old-time "magic show" is experiencing something of a renaissance, especially in the visual mass media. Even so, I doubt its fundamental attraction will alter one iota. The gap between acclaim and scorn is still wafer-thin.

The Illusionist

Pay attention, dear reader, and I'll weave a magic vein,

where rabbits live in top hats and assistants float in air,
