The Conman's Magic Trick

 ## The real confidence game feeds on the desire for magic, exploiting our endless taste for an existence that is more extraordinary and somehow more meaningful. ## But when we’re falling for a con, we aren’t actively seeking deception—or at least we don’t think we are. ## As long as the desire for magic, for a reality that is somehow greater than our everyday existence, remains, the confidence game will thrive.
