Working on an illustrated explainer with on how JavaScript proxies are like a magician performing tricks.
Took me ages to wrap my head around them, but the metaphor helps a ton. Will hopefully clear up the mysticism for others as well!

Not saying Proxies are bad (I use them sometimes) nor explanation but with time I learned to be careful about any programming concept promoted as "magic" or "tricks".

The metaphor is a "magic trick". Doing a basic mutation, etc, then the proxy performing something out of the ordinary with "sleight of hand".
It's not a perfect metaphor, but I like it.
