The Magician

Thank you RT, for reminding me how to properly watch a magician. That's the perfect way to rephrase this question...

Why do we vote for a US President and hold Olympic Games within the same year?

Define Magician:
"A magician is a person skilled in the mysterious and hidden art of magic, the ability to attain objectives, acquire knowledge, or perform works of wonder using supernatural or non rational means."

Paraphrased:
"To break through the illusion, never put your attention where the Magician wants you to put your attention..."

WE.phrased:
"To break through the illusion, look closer at where the Magician wants your attention."
