What does 'The one to be fooled is wise enough to see beyond the smoke and mirrors' mean?

Magic tricks, or illusions, fool the audience by various means. These might include wires, hidden doors, mirrors, smoke, or just about anything else, but idiomatically they are known as "smoke and mirrors." The term "smoke and mirrors" is more often used to describe other tricks used to try to distract or delude someone than to describe an actual magic show. You might say "The Congressman's speech about the economy is just smoke and mirrors," meaning it's just an attempt to delude anyone who will listen. If you're wise enough to see past the smoke and mirrors, that means you're too wise to be fooled.


Are illusions and magic the same thing?

Illusions and magic are the same thing. "Magic" is how we witches spell out stage-magic. It's used to cheat people, and it's not actual magick. It's tricks and, as you said, illusions.Illusions and magicK are NOT the same thing. Illusions are magic - stage-magic, tricks and so on and so forth. Magick is related to the Earth, and to changing things that are already moving in a certain direction. There's really nothing supernatural about it. Well, not as much as most people think, anyway.Another thoughtMany of us who have practiced Magic for years do not use the "k" in Magic. We simply differentiate the illusion or stage magic from the practice of Magic by capitalizing.
