Im tired of magic tricks...I dont want to be fooled
Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts. The first part
is called "The Pledge". The magician shows you something ordinary: a
deck of cards, a bird or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he
asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal.
But of course... it probably isn't. The second act is called "The Turn".
The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something
extraordinary. Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find
it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want
to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn't clap yet. Because
making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back.
That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part
we call "The Prestige"."- Cutter
