Unless Rani explained that it is fake in each of his performances throughout his career, he's clearly leaving the audience to think that something magical or paranormal may have occurred.
No, he isn't.
Before each film at the cinema you don't get a disclaimer explaining that what you're about to see is fiction. In fact, they do the reverse - they explicitly state that some films are based on true events. By default you expect a film to be fictional, and you expect a stage magician to be tricking you. They are literally called magic
tricks or
illusions!
Unless you are a child or a complete idiot you understand the premise of a magic show.
I don't really see a difference. Not everyone goes to magic and paranormal shows under the pretense of "what I'm about to see is fake" like you do.
Why are you mixing up magic and paranormal shows? There is a massive difference. One which I'm struggling to believe you don't understand.
Everyone (again, apart from children or complete idiots) goes to see a magic show understanding that they are going to be tricked.
No-one thinks David Copperfield can really fly, or he can really make the Statue of Liberty disappear.
You might not know exactly how he's doing it, but you understand it's a trick.
But paranormal shows, the people doing those ARE claiming that they have supernatural powers and the people going to them buy into that, otherwise they wouldn't go.
I have no idea why you'd go and see a medium unless you actually thought they really have the power to talk to "the other side".
Those shows exploit gullible people. Do not conflate those with magic shows which are designed to entertain.
You are clearly championing a guy who thinks its okay to lie to people and pretend that you have magic.
And you clearly either reason at the level of a 5 year old child who has yet to understand the difference between fantasy and real life, or you're just on the wind up and you're arguing the toss for the lolz.
I'm more inclined to think the latter, if you were as dumb as you come across on here I don't know how you'd function in life.
Which leads me to believe that you don't really believe any of this flat earth nonsense at all, maybe you just enjoy trying to defend the indefensible and have fun playing dumb.
