Hey, that's unfair to magicians. The whole point of stage magic is that you are purposefully suspending disbelief in order to enjoy an entertainment show. Of course magic isn't real, the magician knows it, everyone in the audience knows it. That's not the point. The point is to relive childhood wonder via escapism. At the end of the day, what the magician does on the stage takes time, practice, dedication, skill, knowledge, showmanship and ingenuity to pull off properly. All feats to be celebrated and admired. Screaming how the trick is done ruins the experience for yourself, the magician and the entire audience. Like cheating at board games, or heckling a comedian, it's a bad faith transgression into the social contract of a show.

What this POS refers to in Dubai is causing human suffering at a massive scale, it's not an well meaning or heartfelt illusion. Calling it out is a protest. It's not equivalent at all.
