The magic if
The magic if is one of Stanislavsky's methods of creating a character. You begin by getting into your character and then fabricate a situation in which your character has to deal with, this forces you to react in the way your character would and helps build your character.
Stanislavsky believed that no actor could truly believe in the truth of events however he believed that you can begin to believe in the possibility of those events. He believed that if you create difficult circumstances for yourself, your effort to solve them automatically leads you to natural internal and external reactions.
Logical action = Truthful acting
Here is a quote from Stanislavsky himself which i have annotated in order for me to fully understand the full meaning behind his teachings.
