You know the personal emotional response timeline quite well I
   see :D I like doing a "show-expose" illusion thing. I like a
   little "woah omg" without the "I'm keeping something from you",
   which is usually attached. I don't like cruelty to people's
   fragile emotional states of wonder. From me, you get the wonder
   and a split second later, "and.. it's bullshit. But, cool isnt
   it?" giving the others time to save face and go, "hehe, yeah I
   knew it all along - but nice job, you ALMOST got me". And I get
   my attaboy-nice job, which is all I wanted anyway.
