11,583. LEGERDEMAIN

LEGERDEMAIN
And here I always thought it had
something to do with Ferdinand 
Leger, how art makes a case for its
own tricky self  -  or something of
that nature. Now I see it's just a
card-shark's sleight-of-hand
deception : the way a liar lies;
the way a magician coaxes a
fanciful rabbit from a more
fanciful hat. And yet the 
crowd claps; what do you
think of that?
