4:26"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
