Edwards acknowledges that most stage actors have more rituals than he himself has, noting, “Actors in particular are pretty superstitious” but that does not carry over as strongly into the behavior of film actors. He said that it isn’t nearly as stressful to perform in front of a camera, because “Onstage, there are no second takes.” The fact that film acting is less risky- a blunder can be done over as many times as necessary- means many performers feel less pressure to perfect a performance the first time around, therefore needing less luck and relying less on magic and ritual. As noted in the 2011 edition of Appreciating Human Diversity, “Magic is used to establish control,” (Conrad P Kottak p. 495).

Samuel Selvon’s short story, “The Cricket Match” explores the subtle racial tensions amongst West Indian immigrants living in England whilst working with English counterparts. Selvon sets his narrative in a tyre factory in Chiswick, England. Most likely, the timeline in which this story occurs is somewhere in the mid 1950’s when England were still colonists of most of the English speaking Caribbean islands.

In today’s high technological society, we do not have much left to the imagination, what we once believed to be impossible has now become our reality.
