THE JOURNEY TO
RECLAIM PERSONAL POWER
Your Map Through the American Trickery Movement
American Trickery was created to help people reclaim and strengthen personal power in a world where systems, labels, and expectations can strip it away. This platform is more than a website. It is a guided path, a cultural hub, and a growing movement built to strengthen your awareness, decode your choices, and expand your territory.
Here is how you move through the work.

ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
Demetrius Thornton is a writer, strategist, and cultural observer whose work challenges the illusions we’ve been taught to believe. Through American Trickery, he explores the everyday environments where power is negotiated and truth is often distorted: our jobs, communities, and institutions. His storytelling invites readers to question, reflect, and reclaim their voice. At the heart of it all is a deep belief that even in a country built on contradictions, personal power is still possible.
FINDING YOUR S.C.O.P.E.™
Through the creation of American Trickery, Demetrius produces works that acknowledge America and the environments we live and work in as challenging places to navigate. These works ultimately help us maintain our personal power and find our life's S.C.O.P.E. throughout the many transitions.
