Parlor tricks are "incontrovertable proof" only of the already known fact that some people are willing to go to great lengths to deceive

You're so dogmatic sometimes.

So telling the truth is dogmatism. Parlor tricks have been exposed countless times. The American psychologist William James was suckered by a fortune teller. His own sister caught the "seer" in deception and tried to tell him about it, but he preferred his fantasies to trusting his own kin.

Strange, but common.
