A man prays to God, 'make me rich, let me win the lottery.' he doesn't win and prays again, 'god, this time, let me win the lottery.' again, he doesn't win. When he prays for the third time, a thunderous voice says, 'man, meet me halfway - buy a ticket!' / Most people imagine magic to work like like the man in this joke. But magic is not believing or not believing - it's doing it or not.
