In all my life Ive never met a person who doesnt like magic.Whether its something subtle like a slight of hand to deceive you or a more dramatic trick where someone moves from one place to another in a seemingly impossible manner, it grabs your attention, sucks you in and often leaves you wondering how it all happened.

It means more than just two points on the table. It can be a springboard to a new contract, perhaps even a new career at a new club. It feels like a final because its at a football ground and it reminds us all of the Grand Final in October.For some its a Super League cul-dec-sac. Defeat here makes them realise that there is nowhere for them to go in 2016. Hull FCs Gareth Ellis and Hull KRs Shaun Lunt preview Sundays derby Probably the greatest magic trick Ive ever seen was when the West Yorkshire magician, Dynamo, walked down a tower building in the States. He went from the top to the bottom in minutes, it seemed impossible.This weekend offers a chance for two West Yorkshire teams to repeat that magic trick in reverse. Leeds and Huddersfield can both still make the Super 8s if they win all of their remaining games. If they can pull that trick off theyll probably get invited into The Magic Circle.Whatever happens, enjoy the weekend.
