lies, damn lies

 

Wonderful two-part essay by Errol Morris on lying and deceit. Includes a conversation with the remarkable sleight-of-hand magician Ricky Jay. Here's Part 2.

 

“You wouldn’t want to live in a world where you can’t be conned, because if you were, you would be living in a world with no trust. That’s the price you pay for trust, is being conned.” --Ricky Jay

that was a great piece.
I do wish though he would have talked a little
about pre lie detector methods such as body language...
and especially how one watches the conveyors eyes.
