* {{Kayfabe}}: In the earlier days of UsefulNotes/ProfessionalWrestling, the fact that the performance was "fake", and that the characters were merely performers, was kept an industry secret from the "marks" in the audience. "Smart marks", by contrast, were fans who ''knew'' that the sport was fake but enjoyed it regardless, and over time, "smart marks" greatly outnumbered normal ones. Thus, while most pro wrestling promotions will continue kayfabe as part of its performance, it is now acceptable to reveal to the audience some parts that are fake.

* OpeningACanOfClones: A story introduces [[CloningBlues doppelgangers]], {{shapeshifter}}s, [[MasterOfIllusion illusionists]], {{telepath|y}}s, TimeTravel, or other plot devices to trick an audience into reacting to a major plot point, but later renders it meaningless. And the moment that a writer does this ''once'', audiences no longer know which consequences they should take seriously and which ones they shouldn't.
