In magic there is a world of difference between "The magician NEVER touched the deck of cards" before he spelled out my name with the cards to reveal my chosen card and "Well, he touched the deck BEFORE the trick started,but that doesn't count." Only someone trained to notice this difference can sometimes catch it from an expert. Our mind also has the natural tendency to shape our experiences when we retell them just a tad. And that small difference can make all the difference.
I knew it! The ancient science of card tricks came from the Ved! (of course they used Vedic palm leaves).
