Magicians

There's something I have always hated about magicians.

It's the face they make after a trick goes right, like, "Oh shit, did you see what just happened! That fucking bird flew right out of my pants! Isn't that some crazy shit?!"

Isn't that what was, y'know, supposed to happen? So why's he shocked?

That's like, if I'm in the office, doing therapy, and the client comes to some deduction about their behavior ("You know, you're right, I don't think I'll commit suicide today"), and I'm all wide-eyed and shocked, like "Omigod! What a surprise!"

I think magicians should reserve the shocked countenance for if a trick doesn't go right, like they pick the king of clubs instead of the seven of hearts ... but I guess that's a different kind of "oh shit" expression.
