You have said that your career is built on a lie. Yeah. What's the lie? The lies that can read people's minds. You can't?
I can't. I wish I could. Okay. Why does what you do work then if you can't read people's minds? Well, because I'm giving the illusion of reading people's minds, right?
That's the skill. That's really I'm crafting a narrative which in your mind plays out in such a way, kind of like the way a magic trick works, but the contract is different with the audience. Because most of us, when we watch a magic trick, since we've been young and we kind of first experience magic, we know that what's happening isn't real. De facto, the bird that appeared didn't really appear out of nowhere.
