Good movie. I didn't like though how it said all magic is deception. Because it is not. The decpetion is that you do not see the truth and we have not told it to you. What you see and what you believe however is a deception itself that is in you, and not us or our acts. Magic is not a deception that isn't real, it is what you do not see that leaves you believing something different or deceptive. It is the deception you believe as reality already before the magic is done that keeps you from missing the truth of the magic. And yet with everyone knowing how to do the things that we do they would not hold their magic would they? If time was an illusion for everyone would it still have the same power, the same spell? The same enchantment? When time is real it holds as real, casts as 'real', and yet when it is illusion it casts in that form and that perceptual way. Whatever values you place on it so it is manifest in your awareness.
