Clever tricks that require being clever to read as well as to write are the dangerous ones.
There's a level of clever, where things seem complex and abstruse on the surface. There's another level of clever, where things seem clear and simple on the surface, but deep insight went into making things that way. (Then there's a level of faked deep-clever that relies on "automagic," but which isn't as clever as it seemed on the surface and costs a ton of extra debugging time.)
