Okey.
We start with a clean slate, and then we bring in only the bare minimum of assumptions. I suggest two. These will be numbered #A1 and #A2, for eventual later reference. After that we set the scene for to understand what we are dealing with.
#A1 (assumption 1)
The twin towers of the World Trade Center were constructed in New York City, in the early 1970th, and then could be seen standing there for many years. This has been independently verified by all those that saw them and was able to take photos of them. They were constructed and could be seen standing there.
#A2 (assumption 2)
After 2011-09-11 the twin towers could no longer be seen there; instead there was a pile of mainly steel beams and a lot of white dust.
This, the transition from #A1 to #A2, is considered to be the event.

Now we set the scene by entering a quotation regarding the event:
"It's just a big magic trick," "It's an illusion."
If this quotation is actual and true then it specifies how we should consider things, including the event itself and how it was presented.
Who said this?
The quotation is assigned to a person called William Rodriguez, one of the key actors in the event. He was employed as a maintenance worker at the WTC. He was the only person at the site with the master key to the North Tower stairwells. He is believed to be the last person to exit the North Tower alive.
This is his web site:

Notice the images. There is the key.
"It's just a big magic trick," "It's an illusion."
We need the key to understand this illusion.

Notice that William Rodriguez used to be working for James Randi, (The Amazing Randi), a well known stage magician and an illusionist.

Quote:
"Culpable or not, if this is what 9/11 represented to the administration, how, we asked Rodriguez, would he describe 9/11 to a child? He responded without hesitating.
"I was a magician for thirty years. . . It is very easy to do misdirection, to make you look into one place while you're doing the magic with the other hand." He's obviously inferring that in plain sight, the planes struck; out of sight, bombs exploded. "It's just a big magic trick," Rodriguez concludes. "It's an illusion."
Guess it would take an illusionist to know one."

If you want to fix your pipes you hire a plumber.
If you want to influence people's opinions you hire a propagandist.
If you want to present an illusion you hire an illusionist.

This is what we have on the slate now: Two factual assumptions and an event that is labelled as an illusion.
Next we can look at the evidence presented to us, in light of this scene, and without jumping into any conclusions based on other assumptions.
