Opinions on lying in a youtube video

Would "you can be sure your card is in the middle" be lying or manipulating according to that?

According to my example, seeing that the card is on top in reality, that would be lying.

I say manipulating is when you make your spectators believe in something else without you having to directly say it.

But also taking into consideration what Mark had said, there absolutely times when we have to lie, like in an ACR plot, "(Do a DL) your card is on top. If I put your card in the middle (that's a lie since that's another card going into the middle), and I snap, you card comes to the top (another lie, since it was always on the top)"

OMG I'm confused... I don't even know what I'm saying anymore >.<;

But going back to what you said Mark, if you claim yourself a magician (which is okay according to you), why can't one claim to be a psychic if they are good at mind reading?
