What is a magic builder? I worked with a magic builder who designed magic tricks for illusionists and Hollywood productions,to help perfect a device known as the JIB.
What is a magic builder in the sentence?
@Nancy88,
Presumably, a skilled technician who constructs apparatus to be used by a "magician" on stage as part of a magic act.
magic=illusions
I wonder if the question "What is a magic builder in this sentence?" might be rewritten ""What is "a magic builder" in this sentence?" and be answered "an idefinite article followed by a noun phrase". Just wondering, especially since the definition of a "magic builder" is clearly set out in the sentence quoted.
