Bizarre Magic is a term that includes Wizard-style magic, Simulated Black Magic or Ritual Magic, Mediums or Spiritualists, Grotesque Magic, and Freak Show Magic. The purpose of Bizarre Magic (often spelled Magick, just to make the word look more mysterious) is to make audiences wonder if what theyv are seeing is "the real thing." A great deal of emphasis is placed on building up "atmosphere" and on story-telling.
