~ Are You Blind? ~

Some of you may be wondering: Why am I so obsessed with magic, and understanding the things we miss, and how we miss them? Why must I bring up "the unexamined", over, and over, and over again?

 

It's because I've seen a magician vanish a coin, a card, elephants, a train, and even symbols of our own liberation. I, myself, have vanished my own hope away from me, before my very eyes, and I've have seen other people perform these tricks, as acts of tyranny and power, on many occasions. The most amazing part to me, is that it always follows the same basic principles, aligning with a mere 3 basic methods. It's like there's a map, one that can only be read by the arrogant cons, the ruthless frauds, the immoral cheats... and... luckily for us... the  purely humble, and smile focused magicians.

 

This map is a series of shortcuts, and blind spots. A list, of all the errors within the average human brain, and so, the people who can read the map, and journey in its terrain, have a power over others and themselves, that most people will never experience in their lifetimes. It is power in its purest form, an restrained, and invisible, at least, to those who have not been invited. The unexamined, is just a small portion of this, but it is the most crucially underdeveloped that I have seen in our more "normalized" society.

 

And here I am, inviting you.

 

To See, Or Not To See? That is the question. I was asked it once before, and now I'm asking it of you. This may be the one chance you'll have in your entire life to read these principles as they are, without the nagging specifics to keep you only seeing it, in a deck of cards.

Now, the question:

To see, or not to see?

How will you answer?
