I am a Magician...

 What was the first thought that comes to your mind if I said such a thing out of the blue? Will you believe me? Or will you not believe me?

 Yes, those are the ultimate question that we have all heard pretty often. Questions like such are, to us Magicians, a very normal set of words that we have all gotten used to.

 "Are your magic tricks real?"
 "What's the secret?"
 "There's no way that's real magic!"

 And thus, the game is afoot. The audience will try to find the truth hidden behind the magic tricks, all while the other party, the Magicians, tries their best to explain it in a way that they desire it to be explained.

 And when the ideas are planted to the audience's minds, there are one more trick that us Magicians will set up to give them even more questions:

 "I wonder now, will you finally believe that it's real? Or are you still skeptical? No matter which is the truth, the answer to that lies within you."

 And we speak the truth. Whether or not the audience believes in our magic, or whether they figured out a logical answer behind our tricks, we don't really quite mind.

 That is what being a Magician is all about. To show people ideas, and to make people question the truth behind those ideas. Will they simply believe, will they simply walk away believing there is a trick to it, or will they make an effort to find the ultimate truth, brimming with curiosity?

 And to me, such a story happens too often. A cycle of beliefs and doubts, in which everything that I do always sounds like a magic trick, and the people around me always asked these questions to me:

 "Are you for real?"
 "How do I know you're not lying?"
 "Do you have proof?"

 Do you see now what I am trying to convey? Yes, maybe I lied about being a Magician, or maybe I speak the truth. But which is the truth, nobody knows.

 Okay, maybe this time, I'll let you in on a freebie truth:

 "No, of course I'm not a Magician. It's just a figure of speech!"

 There you go. The 100% honest truth! Or is it? Believe it or not, you have already fallen for my magic trick, I have planted one idea inside you: An idea that I am a Magician.

 It's that simple to be a Magician, the giver of ideas and possibilities, the manipulator of truths and lies, the beholder between reality and fiction. And as a Magician, we enjoy playing with both sides too much that people eventually starts getting skeptical at us.

 But we are not really complaining, because that is what we are as a human. We speak lies as much as we speak honesty, we believe something to be true as much as we refuse to believe at other things. We approve, and we disprove.

 You, me, and everyone else, we are all a Magician in many, many ways. So, my fellow Magicians, care to see the magical wonders that I have provided for you to question today?
