I'm good enough at intuiting and extrapolating software behaviours that I can fairly easily appear to make computers do things by magic, at least to people who aren't "good with computers" and can't see at a glance what I'm basically doing.

I'd like to learn actual (stage) magic; that would be useful for quick impressiveness.
