Dear Mr. Blaine, I Won.

"Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts
The first part is called The Pledge
The magician shows you something ordinary, a deck of cards, a bird, or a man
He shows you this object
Perhaps he asks you to inspect it
To see if it is indeed real, you know, unaltered, normal
But of course it probably isn't
Where'd you think you're going? (I'm part of the bloody act, you fool)

The second act is called The Turn

The magician takes the ordinary something
And makes it do something extraordinary
Now you're looking for the secret
But you won't find it, because, of course, you're not really looking
You don't really want to know
Want to be fooled, but you wouldn't clap yet
Because making something disappear isn't enough
You have to bring it back
That's why every magic trick has a third act
The hardest part, the part we call The Prestige
