When Marc and myself were thinking up names for the site, we looked up as many synonyms for magic (as to be related to the Houdini theme) and picked the one nobody had ever heard of 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNistor Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 For the ignorant, science does often looks like magic. Of course we're all ignorant about everything at different levels and as Clarke's 3rd law says, a sufficiently advanced technology will look like magic for the less technologically advanced. For example, Houdini still looks magical to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magneto Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I thought it had some kind of reference to StarWars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Amion Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I always thought it was an abbreviation of "odd" and as a force / league of extraordinary artists with powers to create CG like no other.
