The Illusionist

He's the kind of guy who does everything right, on the surface. Says all the right things, gives tiny thoughtful gifts, he's an expert illusionist. He's so good, you can walk around for years before you notice there is a knife in your back. When I mentioned this to one of my friends she said "Oh, that's a knife hilt? That's been there so long I just thought you were making some off-beat fashion statement."
