27
66000
2000
Marko Tempest: Kur e pyeten rreth mashtrimit,
01:23
he said this:
28
68000
3000
ai tha kete:
01:26
Announcer: Magic is the only honest profession.
29
71000
4000
Folesi: Magjia eshte profesioni me i ndershem.
01:30
A magician promises to deceive you --
30
75000
2000
Nje magjistar ju premton qe t'ju mashtroj--
01:32
and he does.
31
77000
2000
dhe ai e ben.
01:34
MT: I like to think of myself as an honest magician.
32
79000
3000
MT: Me pelen te mendoj per veten time si nje magjistar i ndershem.
01:37
I use a lot of tricks,
33
82000

Une perdor shume truke,
01:39
which means
34
84000
2000
qe do te thote
01:41
that sometimes I have to lie to you.
35
86000
3000
ndonjehere me duhet t'ju genjej.
01:44
Now I feel bad about that.
36
89000
3000
Tani une ndjehem keq rreth kesaj.
01:47
But people lie every day.
37
92000
3000
Por njerezit genjejne perdite.
01:50

02:08
MT: Deception,
46
113000
2000
MT: Mashtrimi,
02:10
it's a fundamental part of life.
47
115000
4000
eshte pjese fondamentale e jetes.
02:14
Now polls show
48
119000
2000
Tani sondazhet tregojne
02:16
that men tell twice as many lies
49
121000
2000
qe burrat thone dy here me shume genjeshtra
02:18
as women --
50
123000
2000
se sa grate --
02:20
assuming the women they ask told the truth.
51
125000
2000
duke supozuar qe gruaja qe ata pyeten tha te verteten.
02:22
(Laughing)
52
127000
2000
(Te qeshura)
02:24
We deceive to gain advantage
53
129000
3000
Ne genjejme per te qene ne avantazh
02:27
and to hide our weaknesses.
54
132000
3000
dhe per te fshehur dobesine tone.
02:30
The Chinese general Sun Tzu

2000
Oscar Uaild
02:38

59
143000
3000
tha te njejten gje per romancen.
02:41
Some people
60
146000
2000
Disa njerez
02:43

61
148000
2000
mashtrojne per leke.
02:45
Let's play a game.
62
150000
3000
Le te bejme nje loje.
02:48
Three cards, three chances.
63
153000
3000
Tre letra, tre mundesi.
02:51
Announcer: One five will get you 10, 10 will get you 20.
64
156000
3000
Folesi: Nje 5 do te japi ty 10, dhe 10 do te jape 20.
02:54

02:56
Where is the queen?

2000
Ku eshte mbreteresha?
02:58

67
163000

Sorry. You lose.

2000
Me vjen keq: Ju humbet.
03:02
Well, I didn't deceive you.
69
167000
3000
Mire, une nuk ju genjeva.
03:05
You deceived yourself.
70
170000
3000
Ju mashtruat veten.
03:08
Self-deception.
71
173000
2000
Vete-mashtrimi.
03:10
That's when we convince ourselves
72
175000
2000
Kjo ndodh kur ne i mbushim mendjen vetes
03:12
that a lie is the truth.
73
177000
2000
qe genjeshtra eshte e vertete.
03:14
Sometimes it's hard to tell the two apart.
74
179000
3000
Disa here eshte e veshtire t'i shikosh te dyja vec e vec.
03:19
Compulsive gamblers

Kumaxhinjte manjake

2000
(Shurme makinerie bixhozi)
03:25
They believe they can win.
78
190000
2000
Ata mendojne se mund te fitojne.
03:27
They forget the times they lose.
79
192000
3000
Ata harrojne sa here kane humbur.
03:30
The brain is very good at forgetting.
80
195000
3000
Truri eshte shume i mire ne te harruar.
03:33
Bad experiences are quickly forgotten.
81
198000
3000
Momentet e keqia harrohen shpejt.
03:36
Bad experiences
82
201000
2000
Momentet e keqia
03:38
quickly disappear.
83
203000
2000
zhduken shpejt.
03:40
Which is why in this vast and lonely cosmos,
84
205000
3000
Ja pse eshte qe ne mes te nje kozmosi te madh ,
03:43
we are so wonderfully optimistic.
85
208000
4000
ne jemi mrekullisht optimist.
03:47
Our self-deception
86
212000
2000
Vete-mashtrimi yne
03:49
becomes a positive illusion --
87
214000
2000
behet nje iluzion pozitiv --
03:51
why movies
88
216000
2000
pse filmat
03:53
are able to take us onto extraordinary adventures;
89
218000
3000
jane ne gjendje te na cojne ne aventura te jashtezakonshme;
03:56
why we believe Romeo
90
221000
2000
pse ne besojme Romeon
03:58
when he says he loves Juliet;
91
223000
2000
kur ai thote qe e dashuron Zhulieten;
04:00
and why single notes of music,
92
225000
3000
dhe pse notat teke te muzikes,
04:03
when played together,
93
228000
2000
kur luhen bashke,
04:05
become a sonata and conjure up meaning.
94
230000
3000
behen nje sonate dhe te sjellin ne mendje kuptimin.
04:08
That's "Clair de Lune."
95
233000
2000
Kjo shte "Drita e Henes."
04:10
Its composer called Debussy
96
235000
2000
Kompozitori i saj Debysi
04:12
said that art
97
237000
2000
ka thene qe arti
04:14
was the greatest deception of all.
98
239000
4000
ishte mashtrimi me i bukur i te gjitheve.
04:18
Art is a deception
99
243000
3000
Arti eshte nje mashtrim
04:21
that creates real emotions --
100
246000
2000
qe krijon emocione reale --
04:23
a lie that creates a truth.
101
248000
3000
nje genjeshter krijon nje te vertete.
04:26
And when you give yourself over to that deception,
102
251000
4000
Dhe kur e jep veten ne ate mashtrim,
04:30
it becomes magic.
103
255000
3000
ajo behet magji.
04:41
(Applause)

Thank you. Thank you very much.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Marco Tempest - Techno-illusionistMarco Tempest is a cyber illusionist, combining magic and technology to produce astonishing illusions.
Why you should listen
The Swiss magician began his performing career as a stage magician and manipulator, winning awards and establishing an international reputation. His interest in computer-generated imageryled him to incorporate video and digital technology in his work — and eventually to the development of a new form of contemporary illusion. The expansion of the Internet and social media provided more opportunities for digital illusions and ways of interacting with audiences and creating magically augmented realities. Tempest is a keen advocate of the open source community, working with artists, writers and technologists to create new experiences and research the practical uses of the technology of illusion. He is a Director’s Fellow at the MIT Media Lab.
