Magic

Have you ever been to a live magic show? You watch the magician do his thing and you try to find any flaw possible but you can't. Magicians perfect the art of deception. Magic is my personal favorite type of deception. It doesn't involve hurting someone's feelings. What magic does involve is getting people to believe the impossible and it brings out their inner child. The point of magic is to get you to look one way while the trick is going on the other direction. Magicians make you believe that one thing is happening when in reality it's just simple slight of hand tricks and wires. Magic has grown into a large phenomenon in today's society. The city of Las Vegas is known for its large amount of magic shows and magicians that perform there. Magic is all about illusion and deception and is widely accepted in today's society.

Real Eyes Realize Real Lies


 
Have you ever heard the quote that the former rapper Tupac once said, “Real eyes, realize, real lies” before? This quote means that one can see through other people’s bull crap. I will break down the quote to easily show what it means: real eyes = being real, honest; realize = to uncover the truth, to see through; real lies = something hidden, a diversion. This quote can be interpreted in two different ways. One way is by being interpreted in the way of an optimist. By that I mean one will look properly and will see it is all true. Nothing is a lie. Another way to look at it is the way of a pessimist. This means that one will look properly and will see it is all lie. Everything is a lie. This quote is one that I personally like because it shows that someone can see through another person’s lies. People can fall to deception all the time or they can be smart enough to know what is a lie and what is not a lie. I also like that this quote is a play on words. It’s pretty clever if you ask me.
