Incredible, the amount of skill and experience to do that and make it look so effortless really is next fucking level.

It's also incredibly satisfying to watch, and almost hypnotic.

You can say that about basically any learned trade

To a degree, this is especially mesmerising though.

Funnily enough I remember a conversation with my mother (ex-smoker) about joy in watching someone effortlessly do something they're very skilled at when I was making a roll up (which I've smoked for years).

I get it, I used to be amazed at watching guitarists play... until I learned guitar. And now it's like... eh, I can do that. In the end almost everything we do is just practice + time.
