In some cases, having more knowledge makes deception easier. There are "magician's magicians," skilled in fooling other magicians by using their knowledge against them.
Sounds a lot like poker players. ;)
There are a group of people on YT convinced any magician they cannot figure out must be utilizing demons. I broke down and explained how various tricks were performed that they were claiming required demon help and it did no good. Some of the tricks you could even plainly see mistakes made by the magician exposing their technique to achieve the effect and still ... "demons". =/
LMAO, I know the exact YT channel. I was so frustrated watching and reading comments! Especially since some of it wasn't even good magic! To think that just because you can't discover the secret method, means that it must be "demons" or "paranormal" is arrogant and stupid.
fun times, seeing deluded people , those videos have lost almost all value for me, it's too easy and doesn't explain much.
