Retrieved February 22, 2019.</ref> (a.k.a.'''"break[ing] the magic"'''), refers to actions taken by a [[fursuiter]] or [[cosplayer]] that deviate performance conventions in a way that interferes with viewers' [[wikipedia:Suspension of disbelief|suspension of disbelief]], which is "the magic". When the magic is ruined, the viewer is reminded that they are seeing a [[costume]] with a person inside [[roleplaying]] a fictional [[character]]. The behavior can be [[out of character]] or break the [[wikipedia:Fourth wall|fourth wall]].

== Methods ==
* Allowing one's skin to be visible while wearing a [[fursuit]] when not appropriate for the character.
** Can be done by '''Poodling''' by wearing the head, tail, and/or paws (hands).
* When the jaw of the fursuit does not move with the wearer's.
* When the fursuit wearer's face can be seen through the fursuit mouth at a certain angle when it's open.
* Removing certain parts of the fursuit or cosplay in public.

==Association with Furry Fandom ==

Within the [[furry fandom]], ruining the magic can be frowned upon. Sometimes it is necessary to do so for safety reasons, like preventing [[wikipedia:Overheating|overheating]]. Due to these concerns, most [[conventions]] designate a "[[headless lounge]]" to accommodate breaks for the performer, where they can de-suit to cool-off.

He has a large number of mascot costumes for rent, and sometimes does performances in the [[suit]]s. In his spare time, he takes [[commission]]s to build [[fursuit]]s.

== Trivia ==
