The Double Standard of Psychological Manipulation

Most magicians don't believe in real magic and would be totally opposed to saying, I use magic to do this. However, they're fine with deceiving you by saying, oh, yeah, I use the art of psychological manipulation. So as a comedian, our magic tricks are jokes, but there is like you must tune into the audience. And if you don't feel that, they don't think you're listening to them. At least that's my theory on it.
