All performers have the inherently childish desire to make other people pay attention to you But magic is the most absurdly desperate and shameless manifestation of it Actors and comedians etc just lie for a living, magicians lie that they have SUPERNATURAL POWERS

You're so desperate for people to notice and like you you're trying to sell the inherently ridiculous idea that you are some kind of superhuman being who can violate the basic laws of reality and yet you only use your powers for dumb shit like making a pencil go through a quarter
