It was a joke.

The amount of mind reading you believed you managed to accomplish from a setup and a punch line is pretty astounding. Maybe leave that to the magicians?

I'm sorry for mistaking your statement as an attempt to contribute to the conversation. It might have been clearer that it was a joke if it were funny.

No worries. Given the absurdity of the conversation there wasn't really anything appropriate to add but joking around, but the joke was meant for people who aren't humorless, so I understand why you'd be confused.
