Word & Wisdom of the Week

Word of the week:

Prestidigitation:

From French: quick-fingeredness, from Latin praestigiae  feats of juggling, tricks, probably influenced by French preste  nimble, and Latin digitus.

Wisdom of the week:

The magician and the politician have much in common: they both have to draw our attention away from what they are really doing" - Ben Okri

Sad, but probably true....
