"Thinking" about it. (Not too smart in the first place.) It is contemplated that an intelligent person will not assert they are smart! A wise person (intelligent) realizes that there is only one of two sides to that claim that will be demonstrated. That side is not the smart side. For that reason, the usual comment has been "At the risk of appearing/being stupid". The phrase "At the risk of appearing smart." has not entered into my ears that I can remember.
A question develops whether someone is complimenting/helping or cursing/impeding another person if they comment that the person is smart?
Your decision. Make the smart one.

It is Carney-val show time. The Rings Master may be a skilled host, director and entertainer performing acrobatics. Bring into the Midway tent the rings of clowns, magicians, flying trapeze artists, plus all the elephants, lions and monkeys, and snakes that will perform for everyone's entertainment. Aside: snails are a performance measuring device not a food delicacy.
Enjoy the show.
