I want this fact to sink in:
SOME OF THE GREATEST TRICKS AND ILLUSIONS ON THE STAGE ARE UNBELIEVABLY SIMPLE.
Don't forget that you were once one of the spectators and believed these tricks to be almost superhuman feats. Now, when you learn how very simple they are, remember that to those who are not "in the know," they are still deep mysteries.

So true, Roland! Even the simplest card tricks I recall startling me before I studied any sleight of hand. With proper presentation, good tricks become great. Great post!
