I agree. It isn`t magic. Optical examples are good because we can see
reflections.

The phenomenon isn't magical, as can be clearly seen in the optics
texts.
On the other hand, Cecil's elaborate theories on the subject transcend
those described within these treatises. Nowhere other than in Cecil's
works will one find a description of waves reversing direction without
reflecting from a discontinuity.
