A recent personal injury case in the US went viral when the plaintiff’s lawyer begged the judge to forbid his opponent from performing magic tricks or even mentioning that he was a magician in his closing to the jury.

This begs the question of whether the art of prestidigitation can help one’s career in the law.
Magic can break down barriers and allow a lawyer’s social side to be seen.
