It has the same definition in the internet sense. People are just stupid and convoluted it to mean anything involving a practical joke.

[–]ManiacalV 0 points1 point ago

Well, there's also the sense of a troll as a grotesque and hideous beast who sits under bridges eating children while contemplating their tiny genitalia. Which is similar to the traditional folklore version except for the genitalia part.

He wasn't a magician. He was bad with illusions, so he actually did what he was "doing".

This is how all information should be taught to kids - (Santa, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy) Then point and laugh as the kid realizes its time to grow up - and yes, I am a parent.

[–]Mikhial -1 points0 points ago

I may come off as an ass here, but wouldn't it just be easier to not lie to your kids in the first place? I've never understood the reasoning behind making kids believe fake characters

[–]mastersprinkles 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You aren't an ass and this is something that I and most parents wonder about. Should we play along and do this fun tradition or not? I always remember it being fun and had great memories about it all so we ultimately decided to go ahead with it. It has seemed to be pretty harmless so without much torment we continue to keep the tradition. The option to not tell them would be much simpler though, but how do we get them to behave without reason unless Santa was watching. :-D

[–]DonAlonzo -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think it's a brilliant idea. Teach your kids to believe in Santa and when the day comes, teach them that he isn't real and there are a lot more in this world that people believe in that aren't real.

Teach the kids by giving them an example.

If you ever see a magician and they do the "pick a card" trick, make sure that they aren't holding the cards face up or like in this comic with the back to you and front to himself.

The father's ruse in this fictional depiction is quite mischievous, if I do say so. I myself have had the most disheartening experience of being on the receiving end of this sort of trickery. In celebration of the eighth year of my birth, my father had taken me to Leiden, Holland to visit the Valk Windmill, a site that has been preserved in working condition to this very day. As we made our way to the attraction I caught sight of a moderately sized crowd that had gathered around a magician preforming in the street. Needless to say, I petitioned my father for permission to watch his show, which he reluctantly obliged. Well this magician you see was not merely some common grifter, for as it turned out he was the great Eliaser Bamberg himself. The great great grandfather of Theo Bamburg and founder of the famous Bamberg magical dynasty. Yes that very Elaiser Bamburg! While I am quite certain that the legendary disappearing frog trick and cup and balls routine are well known to all, I can assure you that if you have not witnessed their glory first hand then I'm afraid to inform you that you may as well have no knowledge of them at all. I was so taken in by his sorcery that I went to pay a praise to the man after the show. Sadly, before I could speak but a word to the man, I accidentally learned the secret of his craft and walked away with a feeling of disenchantment my younger self had not yet known. As it were, the source of his illusions was a secret compartment in his wooden leg which allowed him to conceal the 'vanished' items from even the most perceptive audience member. As a result I swore an oath to myself on the spot that never again would I be taken in by the treachery of the black arts, an oath I have honored to this very day.

Disagree. The key word was trick. It could have been a great Magic Trick. But instead he made it a lame exercise in disappointing a child, poor kid. There are more fun ways and constructive ways of shattering delusions :).
