Trick' had to be there somewhere, you just had to know where to look for it. Akito didn't know them all but even if you couldn't guess fully how there had to be some sort of tell, the movement where you could at least see where the shift must have happened. The magician had to have been aware too with how he was good an actor he was.

But Akito couldn't see where 'trick' and 'magic' began. He knew that there were standard explanations - trap doors, spare clothing underneath, even having a double - but it didn't feel right. He thought about it from all angles. The tricks were seemingly perfect and it was infuriating, even more so when the magician looked right at Akito with that sort of smile and look. It was like he knew what Akito had been thinking of.

So, Akito pushed down that irritation deep down, hiding it behind his own smile and an that disarming 'sheepish' look and head scratch. "Was I staring that much?" Chuckle. "I'm sorry. Consider it a compliment, coming from a critic."

And performer.
