Canada really has a magic school and can teach you to become Batman…
People who have watched JK Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series of novels or movies will more or less fantasize that they can have magic, or even learn magic, but “sane,” tells you again:
” Fool! Where is the magic school in the world? Stop dreaming.”
There is a magic school; welcome to learn.
In Canada, you can respond loudly:
“Belief or not, there is a magic school in Canada, and you can learn magic in a regular university.”
The Ottawa university recently announced that it has accepted a project of “Study in Conjuring Arts”.
In fact, at the end of last year, the Slaight Family Foundation donated 2 million to Carleton University to run magic courses. The research fields include psychology, journalism, political school, literature, and war history. , And the history of magic.
The University of Ottawa is the second university to offer related courses.
