Burn Notice2007

Michael Westen:
[narrative] Spies and magicians use many of the same techniques. They both know people trust their eyes more than they should. If they think they know what they're looking at, they don't look too closely. A group can help sell the illusion. A few flashily dressed assistants can draw the audience's eye where you want it to go. And, of course, a well-timed cloud of fire and smoke doesn't hurt.
