A form of the word "magic" occurs again, this time in its adjective form -- "magician." The use below is pejorative.

At the Daily Journal annual meeting on February 12, 2020, Charlie Munger said:

"They are really good at it. The ability to mislead people is greatly underestimated. Any good magician can make anybody see a lot of things happening that aren't happening and not see a lot of things happening that are happening. And of course we are all dealing with various people who through practiced evolution have been good at misleading us. And, so, it is very, very hard to be rational and stay sane."
