As you already know, the magician never shows his tricks - so a warm welcome to all those new folk who have responded to our little marketing stunt elsewhere re the poker staking advances project. But as little said about that for the present the better; let's not disclose too much there for the moment. Suffice to say, once you think about it you will realize that once you show where money is actually flowing, every man and his proverbial dog makes for that stream!
...And muddies it for you. And then you won't be able to see the diamonds or the emeralds or rubies in the clear stream as before.
Magic - real magic - is done by very few people on Earth at any given time. What you see everywhere are rumors about it and speculations dressed up as knowledge and these have even become actual ritualistic practices with names and labels about the bodies of belief entailed to the extent that at least in the wider and factually relatively ignorant community of ordinary people, these labels have become the very things they parodied or aspired to being from the outside. ...Leaving the real stream to be clear all on its own somewhere else.
This is a video made for the Arabian Oud company, and it very cleverly parodies some words and phrases from Islamic scholarly traditions - it talks about 'ideas,' 'lack of understanding' 'hidden depths of knowledge' and how those deeply learned are the only ones able to penetrate the mysteries and secrets even though all can experience the power.
