Thread 42758804

So can ponies see magic? Because if they can, not a single one should be impressed by Trixie's tricks. But if they can't, that means that the magic aura we see in the show is purely for the viewer's sake and would not be visible if you were in Equestria. And that begs the question, what else in the show is only for the viewers?

Why would it be unimpressive?

Magic is difficult. Trixie's tricks are also very creative.

Pegasi are normal so the Wonderbolts acrobatics are not impressive for ponies!
Growing food is normal so a good chef is not gonna be impressive for anyone!
Being fast and strong is normal so Pinkie Pie being so hyperactive is gonna be lame and boring...

Her show is only really successful in earth pony towns
Unfortunately ponyville is multiracial

Most unicorns can only move around stuff, really powerful magic like Twilight's is rare so yeah a town of mostly earth ponies is going to enjoy that shit

I was about to make a comparison with humans and acrobats but this is more in-universe.

yeah but stuff like teleporting out of a box and calling it an escape is stupid because there's absolutely no mystery about how it was done

Do you think magic wouldn't be interesting if it was real? Especially if you can't use magic yourself? There's a reason why sports are popular despite there being no "mystery"

Yes ponies can see unicorn magic. DYEWTS?
