Abstract
The word magic is usually associated with movies, fiction, children stories, etc., but seldom with the natural sciences. Recent advances in metamaterials have changed this notion, in which we can now speak of almost magical properties that scientists could only dream about a decade ago. In this paper, we review some of the recent almost magical progress in the field of photonic metamaterials.
