“Be as precise as possible about what you are going to do. The audience will be fascinated not by your vanishing act, but by your honesty.”

Simplified Meaning:

When you make plans or promises, clearly say what you will do. People are more impressed when you are straightforward and truthful than when you make big, mysterious claims. For instance, imagine a magician who says they will make a rabbit appear from their hat and does just that. The audience enjoys the trick because they knew exactly what to expect. On the other hand, if the magician talks vaguely about doing something amazing without specifics, and then the trick isn't as surprising, people won't be as impressed. Similarly, in life, if you are clear and honest about your goals or actions, others will trust and respect you more. This approach helps build your credibility and shows integrity, both of which are valuable in relationships and professional settings.
