Could someone list them here?

It's not that I need all information in list form--I just expect "list of" articles to follow a certain form.

This article is amusing (if rambling), but a title like "Ricky Jay and Errol Morris wax poetic about lying" might work better.

Agreed. I read the article carefully, but I could not find seven lies about lying in it.

Perhaps this is part 1 of 7 parts, each of which covers one lie about lying. But then I'm still left wondering exactly what lie about lying this part covers.

Or maybe this is just the introduction, and the second part will cover the first lie about lying.

Or maybe the statement that this series covers seven lies about lying, is itself a lie. (Or maybe it's just deception.) :-)

UPDATE: None of the above! The second (and last) part has been posted, and it lists all seven lies about lying. How 'bout that?

It appears that this is only part 1 of the interview. I'll keep a lookout for part 2. Very interesting read.

For those trying to skim, give it up. This is a terribly amusing article, and it's part 1 of a series (presumably there will be 6 more [maybe 7?].) It read much like a DamnInteresting.com article, which is a compliment.

I immediately began trying to get more information on the magician who didn't lie, Jerry Andrus, but Wikipedia doesn't list anything about that whatsoever. Does anybody have more information regarding his routine?
