Deception is a field that extends way beyond our magic entertainment. Some similarities are obvious, others less so...

If you are able to read German, I'd recommend Dr. Harry Keaton's fun and thorough book ("Wie der Minister die Jungfrau zersägte") on the secret parallels of politics and magic.

I have to agree because these methods have been used for a long time, it's nothing new.

Edward Bernays wrote books about it a hundred years ago.
How much you believe in something is manifested only by what you’re willing to risk for it.
