The phrase is "Smoke and Mirrors".
It refers to the practice of deceiving an audience using tools of misdirection. Stage magicians, at one time, relied on smoke and mirrors to create certain illusions.
In more recent times the phrase has been used to refer to embellishment of the truth as done by the media, politicians, advertising, etc..

It's "smoke and mirrors". It refers to magicians using smoke and mirrors to preform their magic tricks. This means that they are not real. It is fake or an illusion meant to deceive.
