Close-up magic
An illusion performed by a single magician right in front of the audiences nose. Usually performed for one to twenty people in casual situation. This kind of magic, unlike stage magic, requires much more skill by the magician instead of by an assistant like in stage magic.
Downsides of close-up magic is that people tend to try to ruin your trick on the spot because they don't give a shit on how amazing it is a lot of the time and most likely want to spoil it because they like to remind themselves that they are gay fags.
Girls tend to either overexcite themselves over this kind of magic or show absolutely no interest at all.

Ratfucker
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
