A good magic trick isn’t just a trick – it’s a story wrapped around a trick. Magicians distract their audiences with professional smooth talk called patter, and it sounds eerily similar to what politicians deliver in debates and on the stump. Magicians Steven Cohen, Mark Levy and Harry Lorayne break down the power of patter. Produced by Sally Herships and Chang Lin.
