“The magician isn’t just performing sleights-of-hand but is also guiding our thinking by what’s called “magician’s patter.” The magician explains what’s happening. Of course, the magician isn’t saying what’s really happening, but the magician is using words and body language to trick our minds and make us think something is happening when it isn’t happening. In the same way, the devil, the culture, and our sinful flesh work to influence the way we interpret our experiences. Some of the tricks are extremely effective. Some of the tricks deliberately manipulate us. Other tricks are just natural deceptions.” — Petros Scientia
