In Response To: random vs. non-random rolls (Stick)

The point is whether the move itself involves an unnatural motion, not whether you can figure out how the trick is done. In a cheating context, the cheater isn't going to "frame" the moment when the move is made so conveniently as in a magic trick. To think that you've accomplished something by figuring out at what point the move must occur, after you've seen the whole effect once so that you know what to look for, is to miss the point I was making.
