"Jackson's Trick" is a slang term for someone who makes offensive or foolish comments, then decides whether they were "just joking" based on the reactions of those around them. This behavior mirrors the quantum physics paradox where a state is unknown until observed. This is commonly done by people called Jackson.
Jackson: Elden Ring is such a bad game.
