Today was the day of his opening show.<\/p>\n

He was a magician, don\u2019t you know.<\/p>\n

He had an act you wouldn\u2019t believe.<\/p>\n

This guy could really deceive.<\/p>\n

His total act was all new tricks.<\/p>\n

Never done by other \u2018big hits\u2019.<\/p>\n

His fame spread far and wide.<\/p>\n

Soon, he was playing Vegas, doing shows live.<\/p>\n

His fame grew so big that it exploded.<\/p>\n

Other magicians came, it was noted.<\/p>\n

None could explain how he did his illusions.<\/p>\n

It was done smooth, with no protrusions.<\/p>\n

Then he upped the ante by doing the impossible.<\/p>\n

Other magicians said \u201cIt just isn\u2019t possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

They began to talk among themselves.<\/p>\n

Could this man do \u2018real\u2019 magic, do tell?<\/p>\n

They devised a plan to catch him off guard.<\/p>\n

They would find out just how dumb they are.<\/p>\n

Because, just as they sprung their trap,<\/p>\n

he disappeared,—-how about that!!<\/p>\n

He never reappeared again.<\/p>\n

For him it was the end.<\/p>\n

Magicians still talk about him today.<\/p>\n

They keep thinking \u2018maybe there\u2019s a way\u2019.<\/p>\n

But, what price did the young man have to pay?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll let you figure it out in your own way.<\/p>\n
