<blockquote><poem>"The arena, the card table, the magic circle ... all are in form and function playgrounds, i.e. forbidden spots, isolated, hedged round, hallowed, within which special rules obtain. All are temporary worlds within the ordinary world, dedicated to the performance of an act apart."</poem> p. 134 </blockquote>
<blockquote><poem>"In fact, Huizinga is mainly interested in how such play activities persist after the game is abandoned: "the feeling of being 'apart together' in an exceptional situation, of sharing something important, of mutually withdrawing from the rest of the world and rejecting the usual norms, retains its magic beyond the duration of the individual game." This suggests that the magic circle of the game world ruptures into the material world, but yet it does not disappear entirely. Such an understanding of the magic circle disrupts the notion that play space possesses a stable interiority and exteriority. The idea that "you're either playing a game or you're not" or that games offer an "artificial space" that contrasts sharply with the material world needs to be revised in light of this new understanding of the magic circle.</poem> p 134.</blockquote>
