You know, I kind of look at a car show like Penn & Teller doing their shtick in Vegas. After you see a bathing beauty made to appear out of thin air, but from behind a velvet cloth, if you then say to Penn
"do you really have magical powers that let you make things appear from nowhere?" I think it's OK if he says
"yes, I do -- I promise you that I have super magical abilities that no one else in the world has and you just witnessed them." That actually
increases and improves the overall enjoyment for the guy asking the question. And there's no real harm done in a little stretching of the truth.
