The Prestige
*“Are you watching closely?
**Every 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, unaltered, normal. But of course... it probably isn't.
**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.
**You 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.”
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEE
