Although I might be a sensationalist and provocative muckraker, I also have enough sensitivity and protocol not to fuck with something — a system or healthy thing — “just because I can.”

And, because the blogosphere is so decontextualized and because nobody cares about historical imperative, there is very little chance of there being any change in the outcome.It is my experience that even after you reveal the secrets to all the tricks and techniques in your entire magic act, people are still astounded by sleight of hand and are willing to still believe in magic.
