Magicians

My team likes to use big words and try to pretend they know a lot more than me. So today they were explaining one of my newest talking points to me. The talking point is: President Trump is going to try to steal this election.

The team explained to me that this is Psychological Projection. They blather on with big words trying to impress me, thinking I wouldn’t get it.

They were right about me not understanding their ridiculous attempt to each sound smarter than each other. I also genuinely knew about 1/2 the words they were throwing at me. But I got the overall sentiment. It’s like a magician. Slight of hand. The fine motor skills used by performing artists, mostly magicians, to entertain or manipulate. It is closely associated with close-up magic, card magic, card flourishing and …. stealing.

There are some tricks at play here. Blame Trump for the exact thing we are going to try and do. More dead people voting in the election? I’m not as dumb as they think I am.

Come on, man.
