Trump the Magician

The essence of magic is distraction. While you are watching his right hand, the magician is doing something with his left hand. While you are listening to his patter, he is making his trick work only you don't see it because you are listening to his smooth talk. The essence of illusion is distraction and slick talk. My favorite trick is cups and balls. The ball is under which cup? A good magician can always fool you.
