Good luck trying this with your girl.
I would try to keep illusionists non-political, because it is not their intention as entertainers, and they teach us a lot about the tricks.

Politically: illusionists are masters in lying to people. They have to pretend something is something else, and that nothing is hidden. The same is for psychopaths, intelligence and politicians.

Why? People need to understand how easy it is to be tricked, so they can be flexible enough to realize there is likely much we believe that is false. Immediate examples include "authority", lockdown, COVID, banks, war, etc.

What I mean is that we can enjoy things sometimes, without being worried about political stuff.

The trick in the video is great and funny.

Yes. Politics ruins everything.

I like seeing how tricks are done. I'm not hard core enough to learn and use them.

She hot too.
