I always find humans utterly fascinating.
They say that information is power— I find that more than a true statement, but a rule of life.
Information is the invisible currency, the quiet force that can build or topple kingdoms.
People think it's money, or weapons, or armies. But all of those are useless without the right knowledge to wield them.
You see, people believe in magicians because they don't understand the tricks behind it.
They crave to believe in something bigger than themselves.
Mystery makes them feel small, and smallness makes them obedient.
If you know how to put on a convincing enough show, it's only a matter of time until you have a crowd throwing money at your feet, kneeling at your altar, giving you everything they have in the hope of some miracle that you'll never actually grant.
If you think outside the box—like I did—you'd see that the greatest magic trick is not in making something disappear.
