But it was true, mostly. Basic card tricks, all that boring shit, were simple and easily understood if you knew what to look for, there were no lies sprouted from the mouth of the magician for the audience to fall victim to. But most would claim they could perform true magic, these were the lies. They were all, as Jon would spit to anyone who’d listen, full of SHIT. He could perform real magic, but his career would be ruined if that were to be widely known. That, and his tendency to maim or kill before the eyes of an adoring audience.
“ I hate card tricks. Hate them. Card tricks are for boring fucks, I like getting my hands dirty. “
