And convincing you he didn't exist isn't one of them.
In literature the devil is often depicted as a trickster. But when it comes to his greatest trick, there's an aphorism that gets it completely wrong: "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." But this is patently false and a complete mischaracterization of the quality of that particular trick. These are, in fact, the greatest tricks the devil has ever played.
