(Spoilers AGOT) Is Varys a magician?
I'm almost done with the first book and, unlike the show, they make stronger suggestions that Varys isn't a normal man. Several characters say he overhears things behind closed doors or when no one else is around. They also note that he is able to change his appearance according to Arya and Eddard. When spying on the 2 men Arya describes him as:
A round scarred face and a stubble of dark beard showed under his steel cap
While in the dungeon Eddard says:
The eunuch’s plump cheeks were covered with a dark stubble of beard. Ned felt the coarse hair with his fingers. Varys had transformed himself into a grizzled turnkey, reeking of sweat and sour wine. “How did you... what sort of magician are you?”
Do you think Varys does this with cosmetics and has 'birds' everywhere to hear everything, or is he actually a magician and uses magic to change his appearance and overhear?

I can just tell you: "Keep reading, man"
Guys, sending PM to all of you it's getting quite troublesome. I leave you here the answers under spoiler scope.
[Spoiler ASOS] (/s "For "hearing the secrets": Tyrion when kills Tywin uses secret passages into the walls of the Red Keep. Varys sends the kids in there and knows all the secrets in this way.")
[Spoiler ASOS] (/s "For the "physical change": When Varys was young he worked as a mummer so it is logical to think he knows how to mask himself as other men.")
Can you PM me. I read all the books and you make it sound like we for sure have the answer. I don't remember though.
That works too! I'm all caught up in the show and they don't really mention it either, so I wasn't sure if these hints or not.
If you've seen the show, then you've seen the scene with him and the person he has in a box (trying to be as vague as possible), so I guess that might answer your question too. He makes a few comments on magic and wizards throughout the TV show that also provides a good answer.
You will know the answer to your question. Really.
Wanna spoiler it for me? Cuz I've read all the books and seen all the show, but I can't remember what you're talking about.
Done.
The show doesn't tell you anything about Varys disguises. The books though...
As u/OriginalCoso suggests, keep reading.
Can I also get on the PM me boat?
Read all the books, but I just can't remember.
Done... Two times, I'm sorry for the +1
Can I also get a PM? Apparently I didn't read closely enough.

The answer to your doubt is in one of the first answer to my post It's under spoiler scope

Done!
While you're sending it to everyone else, could you please PM me as well? You rock.
Done

Yeah, I know you've been asked to do this a bunch... But I also must have missed something. Can you PM me?
Done.
Er... I think this thing is going out of hands.
Thank you!
You're welcome
Can I get in on this PM thing? or can we get a spoiler tag? I ADWD a week or so ago... I don't remember this.
I answered to you all under the spoiler tag.
Regarding your flair: Ashara + Lyanna = Win! (for me, at least)
Can you PM me please? Everyone else seems to be asking for it, why not me too?
I answered here. It should be between the first replies to my main post.

Me too please. I've read all the books and still don't know about this
Done!
